Listen "Not vulnerable enough? Get a hoodie | 11"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the blurry line between authenticity and performance. From influencers faking beach cleanups to the oddly consistent formula of online apology videos (cue the hoodie and soft voice), we ask: Is expressing ourselves still genuine, or has it all become a script?
Why does confidence feel like something we have to rehearse? Why do even vulnerability and sadness have a “look”? And if being yourself requires effort, is it even real?
Let’s unpack the ways we perform emotions—for others and maybe even for ourselves. Stay with me.
