Everything Changes

Some things are harder to talk about than others. And sometimes, the battles we carry are the ones nobody knows we’re fighting.

In this deeply personal episode of Everything Changes, John opens up about living with a brain aneurysm, navigating the uncertainty that comes with it, and confronting the fears we don’t always know how to put into words. From the weight of unanswered questions to the importance of family, vulnerability, and emotional support, this is a conversation about what it means to keep living while you’re still figuring things out.

This episode is for the people who smile through their struggles, the ones silently navigating medical diagnoses, and anyone who has ever felt alone in a situation they couldn’t fully explain. It’s a reminder that you can be afraid and still have hope, acknowledge uncertainty without letting it define you, and ask for support without having all the answers.

You never really know what someone is carrying in silence. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is give ourselves permission to speak—and give others the space to be heard.

This is more than a conversation about health. It’s about life, perspective, and learning to be present for the moments we have.

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for growing with me.

in this episode of everything changes, i talk about the version of myself i had to leave behind in order to grow. the habits, mindset, fears, and people i once held onto felt familiar, but not everything familiar is meant to stay. sometimes growth means grieving old versions of yourself while learning to become someone new. this episode is about change, healing, and realizing that outgrowing yourself isn’t betrayal..it’s necessary.

in this episode, i talk about something i never really explained before—why i disappeared for two years.

no filters, no pretending like everything stayed the same. i go back to what actually happened during that time, what led up to me stepping away, and what life looked like while i was gone. there were moments of change, confusion, growth, and honestly, survival. if you ever felt like you needed to disappear, this one’s for you.

so…i turned 19. which is very exciting and even marvelously fun but also..very scary? the thought of getting older truly does frighten me but also proves to me and everyone in my life that, i made it through anyway. i’ve made it through the toughest days and the hardest times of my life. i think aging is beautiful and it’s apart of the human condition, but, to think that you are eventually going to get older and not any younger, makes you think that you have to experience life now more than ever. time is very delicate and short, and it’s best to make the most of it.

i hope you guys enjoys todays video episode!;)

have you ever thought about not being able to love or to be loved? maybe? maybe not? well…i have and it’s not fun. it’s truly scary having these negative thoughts and emotions about love and the perspective on not feeling seen or heard when in a relationship with someone. taking on the risk of being vulnerable and sharing that vulnerability with someone sometimes isn’t ideal in most cases. for todays episode, we’re diving into the conversation on losing hope on finding that perfect someone!

this is a true story that happened. very traumatic and very scary but kinda funny?. it honestly wasn’t ideal in the slightest, because why on earth would you call the cops on a 10 year old kid?! it’s truly unbelievable and terrifying in every way possible.

anyway, i’m excited to be back this week!! i’m working on two new video podcasts as of right now, one with a guest and a solo episode! i haven’t made a video podcast in so long..it kinda feels new to me for some odd reason..i have no idea why. i hope you guys enjoy todays episode! see ya next wednesday! ttyl:)

HEY GUYS!!

today, we’re going to be talking about past friendship breakups, my embarrassing situationship (trust me, it really was but for me) and smoking for the very first time. i was a little nervous and scared to talk about the smoking part because, some of my family do listen to the podcast but…it is what it is. the experience wasn’t bad, it was actually pretty fun. i wouldn’t recommend smoking though or push people to endure in smoking. it’s a personal choice to smoke or to not smoke. do you boo.

anyways, i hope you guys enjoy todays episode because truly, it’s an adventure.

holy shit guys…it’s been a HOT minute since i last did a podcast episode. sorry for the delay but i was just taking some much needed time off lol. for todays episode, i’m going to be talking about my prom night, my graduation ceremony experience, going on a plane for the first time and FLORIDA!!! june was such a busy month for me but also a very exciting month as well. a lot of shit happened. anyways, i hope you guys enjoy todays episode.

a lil announcement!

spotify seems to be changing a lot of their tools and resources + new software updates that effected the ability for me to upload video podcasts directly on spotify. i will continue to do video podcasts, but they will be available only on youtube..permanently 💌
