S1E3 Authenticity Trap - Live from Minneapolis

Content note: This episode was recorded in real time during political and civil unrest in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul). We don’t go into graphic detail, but if current events are a trigger for you, please tread gently, pause when you need to, and take care of yourself.

We start with our usual Bites & Delights, then dive into The Authenticity Trap—why “bring your whole self to work” can feel performative (or unsafe), how work personas protect you, and practical scripts for setting boundaries without making it weird.

We also wrap the episode by reading listener comments and questions and responding to them together.
