    07. Your Inner Critic Needs A Timeout

    After a couple of weeks of fun and games (literally!), the Salty Pickles are getting real about something almost everyone has felt at one point or another: imposter syndrome. In this episode, Alexis and Dieu open up about those sneaky thoughts that creep in when you start doubting your own skills, accomplishments, or even your place in the game. Whether it’s on the pickleball court, in your career, or just in life, that “I don’t belong here” feeling can hit hard and we’re breaking down what it really means and how to push through it. We’re sharing personal stories, lessons learned, and a few salty takes (of course) about: 💭 Why even confident people struggle with imposter syndrome 🏓 How comparison makes it worse (especially in competitive spaces) 🔥 Simple mindset shifts to remind yourself that you earned your spot 😂 And as always… a few laughs along the way So grab your paddle (or your coffee), tune in, and join the conversation because we promise, you’re not the only one who’s ever felt like a pickle out of the jar.

    06. The One With All The Niceties

    In Episode 6, we dive into the wild world of pickleball etiquette or, let’s be honest, the lack of it. From paddle taps to line calls to mid-game chatter, we’re all still figuring out what’s acceptable and what’s a little too salty. Pickleball is growing fast, and with that comes a mix of players, personalities, and unwritten rules. We talk through what we’ve seen, what we think should be “standard,” and how, at the end of the day, it all comes down to one simple rule: just be human. Tune in for some laughs, a few hot takes, and maybe even a little self-reflection on how we all play the game on and off the court.
