What's The Juice
Why We Lie, When We Learned the Truth Was Unsafe & How to Rewire Safety with Nina Passero
10 Mar 2025
Ep 138. Have you ever wondered when we learn to stop being honest with ourselves, and how this teaches us to suppress our body’s signals? What if learning the truth is unsafe starts in our family systems — and how do we begin to tell the truth as adults? Nina Passero, FDN-P and my BFF is back on the pod! Nina has genuinely had one of the most intense journeys these past 6 years, from losing her beloved brother Matteo, to becoming a mother, to unpacking the taboo truths about grief that we never learn until we have to. This time, we are sitting down for a much more intimate chat. This is one of those conversations that speaks to the heart of our friendship. We’re breaking down the parallels between motherhood and grief, we dig into the strength of our friendship, why it’s lasted as long as it has, and the key factors that have kept it healthy. Nina is one of the best humans I know, and I’m so honored to be able to share this conversation with our community. HERE'S THE JUICE: Do we bring hidden expectations into friendships? The role of contracts in business, and friendship – why they might have more in common than you think The importance of expanding our capacity to be with life and death – shifting your mindset to understand the importance of meditating on our own death and seeing life from a different perspective as a result The profound importance of honesty in a friendship and the key reasons why we often struggle in friendships as adults – bringing it back to the root cause to identify if we are operating from a place of fear Why do we often fail to see the interplay between intimacy and responsibility? This suggests that responsibility may be the thing we fear most The difference between keeping score and maintaining healthy relational dynamics – It's 2025, we’re not keeping score Connect with Olivia: Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.
