In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois explore a deceptively simple truth: You’re only as sick as your secrets. Why do the things we don’t say weigh so heavily on us? Can secrets actually affect our mental and physical health?

With a blend of banter, science, and real stories, they uncover how secrets act like invisible rucksacks—adding weight to life’s journey. You’ll hear about fascinating research, awkward confessions, and why leaders should learn to be “secret offloaders.”

If you’ve ever carried something silently for too long, this one’s for you.
