eli patterson’s new song “spin the bottle” blew up on social media last week — millions of views, love from artists like julia michaels and david kushner, and comments pouring in from people saying “this is exactly how i feel.”

in this episode, we talk about the power of vulnerability, the pressure to be confident when you don’t always feel it, and how scary it is to share your insecurities with the world.

we also open up about comparison, learning to embrace the parts of yourself you’ve spent years hiding, and what it looks like to separate your self-worth from social media.

this one’s honest, emotional, and proof that even when you feel invisible, your story might just be the one that helps someone else feel seen.
