S2 E15: Influence, Trends & The Pressure to Fit In

from Only Human · host Jess and Karli

This week, we’re talking about influence: how trends, social media, and the world around us shape what we like, how we show up, and who we think we’re supposed to be. From sardines and matcha to Pilates and matching sets, we explore what's "in" right now, and how easy it is to start liking something just because everyone else does. What starts as a conversation about trends turns into something bigger: the pressure to fit in and how we can lose sight of what we actually like versus what we’ve been influenced to like. If you’ve ever felt confident in your choices until you walked into a room or opened social media and suddenly questioned everything, this one’s for you. It’s a reminder to come back to yourself and ask: do I actually like this, or was I influenced to?
