curated authenticity: can you ever REALLY be yourself online?

Feb 5, 2025

warning: this basically was a facetime call that you joined in on - we absolutely went on a ramble on this one!

is it even possible to be authentic on online, or does everything end up curated by default? we feel so authentic on the podcast, but when it comes to posting our lives online, capturing that same raw authenticity feels 1000 time harder!

join us as we chat through the pressure of perfection, the 'performative' nature of social media, and navigating the balance between 'real' and 'curated'.

lowkey ironic but...stay in the loop by following us on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠, or subscribing on ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠! ☕ Book lovers, don’t miss out on our ⁠⁠⁠BOOK CLUB⁠⁠⁠—this month’s read is the one and only ONYX STORM by Rebecca Yarros.
