Episodes
EP 93: OCD has entered the chat
In honor of OCD Awareness Week, I wanted to share my story. OCD can be an incredibly silent and misunderstood struggle, and so many people are fighting battles that the world never sees. In this episode, I’m opening up about my personal experience with OCD, the thoughts and fears I’ve struggled with, and the things that have helped me heal. My hope is to help someone feel a little less alone, brin
92: How I Moved 16 Hours Away and Didn’t Let My Anxiety Win
For the people who feel smaller than their anxiety, don’t feel brave enough to go after what they want, or believe the cards they were dealt dictate how they have to live their life.I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking me how I did it. How, as someone with debilitating anxiety, did I manage to move 16 hours away from everything I knew and build a life for myself?There’s no one answer. It was a lot
91: The Loudest Boos Come From the Cheapest Seats
The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats.Maybe the people who have the most to say about our lives are the people who know the least about them. We’re all watching from different seats, yet somehow we tend to let every opinion carry the same weight. HINT: the only opinions that matter, are from people you WOULD trade places with. At some point, you have to decide who gets a frontrow seat, who
EP 90: What if You're Starting Over for a Reason??
What if the decisions you regret most weren’t actually mistakes?? In this episode, I’m talking about starting over, changing your mind, outgrowing people, places, jobs, and even versions of yourself...and why we’re so quick to label something a “waste of time” just because it didn’t last. Plus, the pressure to have your life figured out by a certain age and what happens when the timeline you plann
EP 89: Grateful My Table Changed...But Also for Everyone Who Ever Sat at It
When I went through friendship breakups, I thought they were a bad thing. I replayed every conversation, wondering what I could’ve done differently. But over time, I realized sometimes friendship endings are a beautiful thing. We outgrow people, and they outgrow us. Some people are meant to be in our lives for a chapter, not the whole story. And that doesn’t mean anyone has to be the bad guy. Some
EP 88: 23 Pieces of Advice That Changed My Life at 23
23 called for some of the biggest lessons life has taught me so far. It led me to move to Charleston, put my anxiety in the back seat, open doors I never thought I would, and learn to do things scared...all while surrounded by the people I love.I truly believe we're put on this earth to experience life, grow through it, and share what we learn with others. So this is your reminder: do it scare
EP 87: You Don't Need More Friends, You Need the Right Room
One thing I’ve learned is that you can be in a room full of people and still feel lonelier than when you’re alone.Sometimes we force ourselves into rooms that were never meant for us, full of people who aren't for us.But the truth is, everyone deserves a room where they feel seen, safe, and fully themselves. After all, I'd rather have 3 best friends who truly get me than 15 friends who onl
EP 86: I Tested All the Friendship Advice I Gave People
I moved 16 hours away to Charleston alone and quickly realized something no one tells you about making friends in your twenties:Nobody's coming to hand you a friend group. It's all up to you to build one.So instead of waiting to be included, I took my own friendship advice..( and it's honestly the reason for the healthy friendships I have now)Turns out community isn' t something yo
EP:85 I named my anxiety Lucy
I named my anxiety Lucy…and it helped me realize that I am not my anxiety. After all these years together (she's been living rent free), I figured it was time she got a proper introduction.For a long time, Lucy and I weren't exactly friends. I used to let her control every part of my life (she’s a diva like that).She convinced me that every worst case scenario was reality and that worrying
EP 84: To Have a Village, You Have to Be a Villager
When it comes to having a village, everyone wants one. We want the thoughtful birthday celebrations, the check in texts, and all the little loving gestures that make you feel seen. But no one really talks about what it actually takes to have that kind of village in the first place.Because the truth is, you do have to be a villager to have a village. You have to show up. You have to remember the bi
Ep 83: Do It Scared & You’ll Find Your Way
No one is coming to tell you when it’s time to take the next step. No one is going to tell you that you have to do it scared. It’s you and your life. And the difference between living a mundane one and an extraordinary one… is what you choose to do with that fear.There’s no handbook for doing things scared. No moment where it suddenly makes perfect sense. No signal telling you your body is ready.
EP 82: You Were the Bridge They Needed, Then Burned (and You’re Better for It)
Sometimes we’re the glue, or the empath, or just the safe place someone needs without even realizing it… until we become the bridge to their destination. We get them there, we help them move forward… and then we get burned. And no one really likes to admit that part.Not that we’re sitting around waiting for thank yous in friendships, but it hits differently when there’s no acknowledgment. None. No
EP 81: Reagan LeRoy | The Day It All Works Out Is Built on What Didn’t
On this episode of On the Bright Side, I’m joined by Reagan LeRoy to talk about what it really looks like to chase a dream that doesn’t come with a 9–5 schedule, guaranteed paycheck, or clear timeline. From moving to Charleston alone to navigating sober curiosity and the very public reality of failing on the internet, we talk about figuring it out as we go,and the decisions that brought us here. B
EP: 80 They Love Everything You Do…They Just Hate That It’s You
Have you ever noticed how people can love everything you do… just not when you’re the one doing it? Their idol posts it and it’s called ambition. You post it and it’s called trying too hard. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when someone has already decided who you are in their story, and no matter what you say or do, the narrative doesn’t change. At some point, you realize you can’t
EP 79: w Sam Souder | ADVICE SESSION 5: Friendship (Competition?), Job Betrayal & Hinge Redemption Arcs
On this episode of On the Bright Side, content creator Sam Souder joins me to answer your advice asks that some of you HAD to keep anonymous.Like what do you do when your best friend knows you’re interviewing for your dream job… and applies behind your back... We’re diving into confidence, getting past your anxiety , social climbers, healthy love that feels too good to be true, and why we’re alway
EP 78: How I Built My Dream While Paying My Bills
There has never been a plan B.On this episode of OTBS, I’m talking about what it truly means to commit to your dreams…without giving yourself an out.From moving to Charleston with no backup plan, to figuring out how to pay my bills, navigating self doubt, and building a career off social media, this episode is all about choosing your dream over comfort. I open up about side jobs, sacrifices, and t
EP 77: Single, Self Sufficient, and the Privilege It Is
If we spend all of our 20s single, that’s only 1/9 of our entire life (the average lifespan is around 90). But the love we intentionally give ourselves during that time can completely change the course of our life for the better. Learning to be self sufficient and to live on our own is a privilege, one that older generations of women didn’t always have. Being single, whether it’s your first time i
EP 76: w Alissa DeRogatis: Getting Over Someone You Never Dated
Put a finger down if you’ve ever been told you were crazy for hurting over someone you never dated…we’ll put our fingers down now.Sure, we’ve all heard it. But unlabeled love still hurts, sometimes more than the kind with a title. (And for anyone about to call us dramatic…there’s the door.)In this episode, I sit down with best selling author, situationship expert Alissa DeRogatis, the woman People
EP: 75 Ins and Outs of 2026: Advice Edition
It’s out with the old and in with the new...yes, Sharpay said it best. Of course the last episode of 2025 is all about what’s coming with us into 2026 and what’s staying back in 2025… like typing in lowercase, which really should not have even entered 2023, but I digress.So what’s in for 2026? Fast-forming friendships, intentional spending, and therapy...even on your good days. And what’s out? Mis
EP 74: The Comparison Trap of Your 20's
In your 20s, you will be faced with the comparison trap, where you think you’re behind, success-shame yourself, and feel like everyone else is living these perfectly put together lives. It’s important not to believe that.On this episode of OTBS, we’re talking about the comparison trap of your 20s… the one where you scroll for five minutes and suddenly feel behind in life, under accomplished, and c
EP 73: STOP GETTING A KINK FROM EXCLUDING PEOPLE
HEYYY to my fellow left out people!! On this episode of On the Bright Side, we’re getting real about that feeling of being purposely left out. You know that moment where you realize you weren’t invited and it hits way harder than it should? Yeah… I know that feeling a little too well. But here’s the truth: it was never actually about you. It was about the inviter: the jealousy, the insecurity, the
EP 72: For the People Who Don’t Want to Run Into Their Past
The past has a funny way of showing up… usually right when we least want it to.Maybe that’s the true meaning behind Blackout Wednesday, Thanksgiving, or any hometown reunion...not the celebration, but the confrontation. Because nothing quite rattles us like accidentally locking eyes with an ex, an old situationship, or that one hometown hater who still thinks they know who we are.But it makes you
EP 71: Friendships are allowed to expire!
We accept that food expires, jobs end, and relationships change so why is it so hard to accept that friendships can, too? In this episode, I talk about the not so fun reality of friendship breakups… because unfortunately, there’s no “how-to” guide. Do we wish them a happy birthday? Do we block them? Why can’t they just apologize? Because honestly sometimes I want to shake them until they do. The t
EP 70: How to transform your aura to GLOW!!!!
Have you ever wanted to be the person who is irresistible? Who can command a room with their level of confidence? Who presence simply just glows? DUH I would think we all do, but how? Well on this episode of OTBS, I learned all about aura, and I’m sharing everything with you !!! Your aura isn’t just about looking put together or happy, it’s the energy that follows when you walk into a room. Just l
EP 69: It's a 10 for me but...
HEY Y'ALL!!!! just kidding, I’m not saying y’all...yet! In this episode, I’m diving into how our lives are made up of different numbers on the board. Someone's relationship might be a 10, but their finances might be a 3. For me, Charleston might be feeling like a 10 right now, but that doesn’t mean everything else is. Some days, what’s a 10 for someone else might only be a 7 for another. I
EP 68: Never Let Your Fears Be Bigger Than Your Dreams
I MOVED!!!! I can’t believe I’m HERE?!On this episode of On the Bright Side, I did the scariest thing I’ve ever done: packed up my life, drove 16 hours, and moved to Charleston, South Carolina...knowing next to no one. ( and I don’ think anyone thought I would go through with this…me included)The craziest part? I’m doing it all while following my dreams. Not too long ago, I was the girl whose anxi
EP: 67 Time Heals, But It's Not An Apology
Time may soften the hurt, but it doesn’t erase the need for an apology. In this episode, I talk about how people often use time to brush over their behavior instead of taking accountability. We’ve all had those moments when someone’s hurtful, and 20 minutes later, they’re acting completely normal, like it never happened???I don’t know what was in Adele’s water when she wrote Water Under the Bridge
EP 66: Little Did We Know
Little did we know that our favorite movie would become our favorite movie, that we’d meet our best friend on a random Monday, that we were just around the corner from landing our dream job, or that I’d be moving to Charleston in just 3 weeks.The other day, I came across a TikToker: Haley Hoffman Smith, who shared something that really stuck with me.She said we never really know what beautiful par
EP 65: The Truth Behind the Headlines with Chandi Dayle
What really happened in the Bahamas? Is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ support system as healthy as it seems? Did she have a stalker?…And most importantly, is she okay?This week on On the Bright Side, former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle joins me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about this season of America’s Sweethearts that shook the internet. From being a DCC for 6 years, to her s
EP 64: 22 Things I Learned at 22
As I blew out the candles on 23, all I could think about was the whirlwind of lessons 22 brought me. From letting go of people I once thought were permanent, to learning how to live with my anxiety instead of running from it - this year cracked me open in ways I never saw coming. In this episode, I’m sharing 22 things 22 taught me, because somewhere along the way, I finally met myself ( and I lear
EP: 63 Creeps & a New Seat
On this episode of On the Bright Side, I chat about the latest of my silly stories, a creep encounterment on the airplane (T&P’s to them ), and the reminder that a seat at a new table is waiting for you. Consider today’s episode a little bit of both - silly yet motivational ( and relatable) aka Caroline coded. Happy listening!!!!SocialsOTBS Instagram @onthebrightsidepoddOTBS TikTok:
EP 62: Thomas Rhett, Dumpster Diving & Barefoot Loyalty
This week’s episode has me written all over it. From dumpster diving for my phone, to doing social media for Thomas Rhett, to hosting my first OTBS event: Wake Up to Wellness. I truly live so many lives. I chat about how these pinch me moments came to be, the left field comments I’ve been getting as of late and what real friendship looks like - like going barefoot in bars and casinos because someo
EP 61: LET IT BREAK BEFORE IT BENDS YOU
One thing I love about these episodes is that I get to mix humor with real life. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I’m talking about how sometimes we need to break instead of constantly bending just to please other people, because the more we bend, the more we lose ourselves in the process. And honestly, is it even burning a bridge when we break … or are we just clearing a path for something
EP 60: First Year Out and Post Grad Looks Like This?
If you told me this is what my life would look like one year post-grad, I would've said you're CRAZY!! A lot of unexpected...both good and bad. But that's the beauty of post-grad: you jump off the deep end for the first time in your life and are told to find your path and purpose...it's hard, but it's also amazing.So, now being one year post-grad, let's chat, because whethe
EP 59: Don't let Your Anxiety Drive ( or me talk this much)
This week, I’m back from a Wilmington trip that basically made me remember how much I love the South. My content popped off (normalize tooting your own horn), and yes, I did put the car in neutral mid-drive, but passenger princess duties were still served. From sunrise swims to pre travel anxiety, I’m recapping the week, and how we can't let anxiety get in the way.Anxiety can be loud... but so
EP 58: Deinfluencing You From Toxic Social Media Advice
We've all heard the advice: "If he wanted to, he would," "You have to hustle 24/7 to succeed," and "Never change for anyone." On the surface, they sound empowering, but when you dig a little deeper, you start to wonder: are these ideals really lifting us up, or quietly wearing us down?Because here's the truth: you don’t need a $100 skincare routine to practice
EP 57: I Wouldn't Wish My Past Week on My Worst Enemy!!!
Luke Combs was right, when it rains it does pour...but that rain helped me to see life more clearly...so I'm taking it as a win. Last week was no walk in the park, but we made it to the next week, and so naturally I'm going to make fun of it now. OH WAS IT A WHIRLWIND!!! Because yes, it's called on the Bright Side but not every part of life has to be celebrated as a win, and some weeks
EP 56: Don't "When" Your Life Away
On this episode of OTBS, I talk about how important it is that we live our life in the now, and not the when. Because before we know it time will pass, opportunities will fade, and someday may turn into never. SO WE’RE TAKING BABY STEPS TO THAT!!! But because I am the most unserious person, I do this episode in a silly way…because life isn’t that serious!!! So let’s just chat about life, this ide
EP 55: Your Personality is a Privilege!!!!
Your personality is a privilege to be around and if people don’t see that, then there’s the damn door. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I’m diving into the importance of sharing your personality with the people who truly appreciate it. Oh, you think I’m quiet? I’m not. Like at all. You either lost the privilege of my personality or just haven’t earned it yet. Too often, we fall into the trap
EP 54: Yes, I Remember What You Did
On this episode of OTBS, I get on a pop culture kick and then accidentally get motivational?? Someone said something to me the other day, and it got me thinking—do we ever really know the impact we have on people? A passing comment, a small act, something we forget five minutes later… but to someone else, it sticks. So today, we’re talking about the things we don’t realize people carry with them,
EP 53: The Girls That Get It, Get It (And We Do): A Mental Health Convo | ft. Carrie Berk
They say the girls who get it, get it—and the girls that don’t, don’t and when it comes to mental health, truer words have never been spoken. Anxiety isn’t just stress, OCD isn’t about color-coding your closet, and intrusive thoughts don’t play fair.On this episode of On the Bright Side, I’m joined by influencer, author, and writer Carrie Berk to dive deep into the messy, unfiltered reality of anx
EP 52: Advice Session #4: Breaking Up, Making Up, and the Friends That Don’t Always Show Up
They say life is about making decisions, but no one tells you how exhausting it is to actually make them. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I asked for your advice, and you answered—boldly, honestly, and without hesitation. And let me tell you, the stories that came in were anything but simple. From cheating men, to the friends who poof—disappear without a word, to the constant struggle of ig
EP 51: Run! A Confident, Secure Girl... Said No One Ever
Trust me, the only people who are running away from someone who is confident and secure are the one's too jealous to be in their presence. On this episode of On the Bright Side, let's talk confidence! Before, I thought that if you were anxious, nervous or introverted, you couldn't be confident...and boy was I wrong. Confidence is something that comes to people when they practice it (an
EP 50: Is it Giving Safe? | Ft. Kiki O'Brien
We’ve UPGRADED!! On the Bright Side is officially studio signed, which means video!! WOOHOO!! In honor of episode 50, Kiki joins me on the pod to talk about anxiety, who gives “ safe” and my anxious version of a love life??? Basically Stephen from DWTS is safe and John Summit is not safe. Trust…it’ll make more sense once you listen. As two anxious best friends, we GET IT! We are the ones hypervent
EP 49: Do You Like Him? (Or the Idea of Him?)
Well, I know if you clicked on this episode, you’re probably into the idea of him and not him—so that's a start. On this episode of OTBS, I’m breaking down whether you actually like him, or if you're just into the idea of who he could be. Do you like him, or do you just like the idea of checking boxes or fitting in with everyone else? Are you actually happy with the person they are …or are
EP 48 Find the Friends Who Make the Corners of Your Mouth Turn Up
HINT: If they are not making the corners of your mouth turn up, then they are NOT your people. On this episode of OTBS, we dive into the importance of finding friendships that truly lift you up. It's safe to say I've experienced both good and bad friendships, and it's worth talking about to help you understand that this truly happens to everyone (whether people talk about it or not). T
EP 47 Getting Out of a Funk
Just because the clocks went back, doesn't mean our mental health has to too. On this episode of On the Bright Side, I talk about what we can do to get out of a funk and what we can do to bring up our happiness! I'll be honest, we're two weeks into November and I've already been in a funk and have had 2 mental breakdowns...but I'm just a girl okay. So maybe recording this episo
EP 46 Going Out is a Social Sport, and I'm Placing Last
I went back to UNH for alum weekend and let me just say, my social battery is no where near where it was 6 months ago. Someone get me a blue Gatorade and a 3 day weekend stat. I didn't even drink this weekend, so yep definitely safe to say I'm placing last.On this episode of On the Bright Side, I was brought back to my college roots for the weekend and remembered how much I prefer staying in versu
EP 45: Being Single, First Dates and Hail Marys | ft. Nicole Farina
You thought the single life wasn't entertaining? Well, let us tell you! From a guy saying the Hail Mary to me on our first hangout (Hail Mary full of grace, may that never happen again) to Nicole’s first date where she learned to fly a plane with a stranger…(catch flights, not feelings), and me throwing up after kissing a guy (hope you’re doing well, king!), we’re here to prove the single life is
EP 44 Embracing Your Own Timeline
I’ll be honest: last week, I had a meltdown trying to figure out my post-grad plans. Picture Kim Kardashian crying— yes that was a spitting image of what I looked like. Should I move to Boston to be with my friends? Stay home, save money and focus on content creation from here? Honestly, I still don’t know. But after some reflection and great advice, I’ve realized that the typical timeline of grad

EP 42 Leaving What Harms Us To Heal Us
Nobody deserves to be stuck in a toxic relationship—whether it’s a friendship, a romantic partnership, or anything in between. Sometimes, staying in a bad situation feels easier, even if it’s holding you back from a better life. We often don’t realize how much more fulfilling life can be if we just find the courage to make a change. Remember, you deserve relationships that lift you up and help you

EP 40 How to Get Your Color Back
It’s time we start living life in color again and stop accepting the gray. Hozier said it best “I got some color back, she thinks so too, I’m almost me again, she’s almost you”.

EP 38 Is it Mature or is it Getting Walked On?
If something negative is said about you, are you mature if you never say anything, or are you simply being walked on? Who makes these rules and where can I find the guide?!
