The Creative Process, Comfort Food, and Fear of Failure | Episode 7

In episode 7 of The Dishes Can Wait, Hannah and Aaron settle in for a funny, meandering, and deeply honest conversation about creativity, identity, and what it really means to "make" something. Along the way, they reflect on how creativity evolves with age, energy, and self-acceptance. The conversation then shifts (as it often does at their table) into nostalgia, memory, and food—sharing the dishes, smells, and moments that feel like home. From Tex-Mex and barbecue, to family recipes and childhood experiences, they explore how food connects us to identity, place, and belonging. To close, they pull a question that takes things even deeper: Are you more afraid of failure or success? What follows is a vulnerable, thoughtful discussion about perfectionism, worthiness, and the emotional complexity of being seen. It's an honest reminder that growth often happens in small, brave steps. Come for the laughs, stay for the heart.
