In this week’s episode, we pull back the curtain on the music, media, and entertainment industries—how alliances shift, feuds spark, and creators are often pitted against one another. We dive into the dynamics of industry beef, reputation wars, and the tricky balance of staying authentic while maintaining relevancy.

We reference a powerful Dumb Blonde Podcast interview with Bunnie Xo and Matt Mathews, where they unpack the art of maintaining multiple personas depending on your audience. That conversation frames our deeper dive into breaking into new industries, scaling across careers, and redefining yourself without losing your truth.

Will brings back Vibe of the Day with “Untitled” by Janae — a perfect reflection of navigating illusions versus authenticity in creative spaces.

Because October is Domestic Violence Prevention Month, we also center this episode with compassion and awareness. To anyone listening who may be affected by domestic violence — you are not alone.

Episode 8: Distorted Observations

What happens when your perceptions—of self, race, love, and identity—are warped by society, fear, or internalized pressures? In this episode of Mirror Mirror, Kayla and Will get vulnerable and confront the mirrors that lie to us. They dig into the powerful insights of White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo, exploring how it challenges our understanding of race, power, and defensiveness.

They also share personal stories of being biracial, navigating DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) spaces, and discussing how gay marriage fits into their own journeys of identity, love, and acceptance. Expect honest reflections, messy emotions, and the search for clarity when your “mirror” has cracks.

This episode is for anyone wrestling with truth, growth, and the discomfort of seeing things for what they are rather than what we wish them to be.

✨ Healing through honesty. Transformation through reflection. Stay in the mirror.
