The Superstitions We'd Never Admit to on Camera... Until Now

Are you sure you're not superstitious? Because you knock on wood and blow out birthday candles, and we're calling that out.

This week we confess our own weird little superstitious rituals — knocking on wood, beads for readings, numbers that have to add up to 11 — and get into why humans do this stuff in the first place, whether any of it actually works, and where even WE draw the line. We'll walk through a week built entirely around belief: how you know what you know, and what happens when someone else sees it differently.

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ The superstitions basically everyone secretly practices (birthdays and weddings are wilder than you think)

✨ What the research actually says about why lucky charms and rituals seem to work

✨ The "how many coincidences am I allowed before I notice the coincidence" problem

✨ Where even we draw the line on what's too far

✨ This week's astrology: belief, perspective, and what actually feels true to you
