In this solo episode, Jesica opens up about the tangled, often contradictory experience of trying to be authentic—in life, online, and especially in front of a camera. Speaking candidly from her makeshift home studio (complete with a self-made jean quilt and all the real-life vibes), she invites listeners into a stream-of-consciousness journey filled with questions, insights, and gentle challenges.

What is authenticity, really? Is it being unfiltered and unedited? Or is there a line between being true to yourself and being considerate of others? Jesica shares her own inner debates about social media, self-image, and why posting online sometimes feels like a cringe-inducing performance. This episode is less about answers and more about inviting you into the conversation—because maybe authenticity starts with being willing to ask the hard, messy questions.

In This Episode:

• What does it really mean to be authentic?

• Is curating your camera angle a betrayal of authenticity?

• Social media as both a connection tool and a confidence killer

• The paradox of self-editing: Respect or inauthenticity?

• Posting, performing, and the pressure of the algorithm

• Why “too authentic” might be a thing—and why that’s okay

Jesica’s Questions for You:

• Where are you most authentic in your life?

• How does being authentic—or not—feel?

• Do you filter yourself in certain spaces? And should you?
