Episode 11: Fear, Truth & Advice to Our Younger Selves

In this episode, Steph & Jay tackle three big themes: fear—how it protects us, when it holds us back, and how to move anyway (from Steph’s workshop launch to Jay’s entrepreneurial lens); truth—why algorithms and social media erode trust and how to practice real verification; and advice to our younger selves—choose respectful relationships, build confidence and authenticity, and prioritize health. They wrap with a playful rapid-fire on packing quirks, over hyped trends, and NYC’s questionable sunglasses.

Topics Covered

  • Fear & failure: growth vs. paralysis
  • Anxiety today: cortisol, social media, “what if” spiral
  • Steph’s workshops: feeling fear, doing it anyway
  • Truth: why verification matters
  • Misinformation: trust, algorithms, credibility gaps
  • Advice to younger selves: relationships, authenticity, health
  • Rapid-fire: style choices, packing quirks, protein trends, and NYC sunglasses

A thoughtful, candid episode about fear, truth, and growth—served with the humor and honesty you expect from Pickles & Pasta.
