Season 1, Episode 5 of Half Read. In this episode, we pull a theme from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen and explore first impressions and assumptions. How often do our snap judgments — in love, work, parenting, friendships, or first encounters — shape outcomes? And can we unlearn them? We talk about how our assumptions can blind us, mislead us, or hold us back, and how seeing someone clearly often starts with seeing ourselves more honestly. All paired with this week’s cocktail: Pride & Prosecco — a Prosecco spritz with a twist of lemon.(witty, refined, effervescent)
