In this episode, I’m unpacking why the word authenticity has lost its meaning and how performative “realness” online has turned something genuine into a trend. From my own journey of going viral and losing touch with who I was, to the deeper question of how do we actually know ourselves, this is a conversation about finding your truth beyond the mask.If you’ve ever felt pressure to “just be yourself” but didn’t even know what that meant, this episode will help you redefine authenticity on your own terms.
