In a world of filters, polished feeds, and curated perfection, what does it really mean to be authentic? Is it about baring it all — or is there a smarter, braver balance between being real and being raw?
In this episode of Big Dreams & Little Things, hosts Karina Kampe (certified transformational coach, artist, creative entrepreneur, and songwriter) and Maria Wronski-Ellis (artist, songwriter, educator, and author of the upcoming The Mindful Songwriter) dive deep into the art of showing up as your true self.
From Malala Yousafzai’s fearless stand to Greta Thunberg’s unapologetic voice, we explore the science and stories behind authenticity — and how you can harness it as your strength (without oversharing or burning out).
And yes, Karina really did record this one without a shower, makeup, or sleep… talk about walking the talk. 😉
