Trying to Be Her: On Perception, Imitation, and Becoming Myself

I’ve always wondered how I’m perceived, and it’s bothered me that I’ll never really know.

In this episode, I talk about the fine line between being inspired by someone and trying to become them. About admiration, imitation, and how easily perception shapes who we think we are.

I share how watching The Materialists made me reflect on identity, influence, and the versions of myself I’ve performed along the way.

Maybe the path back to authenticity isn’t about rejecting inspiration, but about noticing when we start disappearing inside it.
