In this episode, we go deep on the theme of pretending - in relationships, at work, on stage, and even with ourselves. From Jake’s story of growing up gay in Latvia to Jen’s take on emotional masks and attachment styles, we explore why pretending becomes survival… and how authenticity starts to feel like rebellion.
