There is an inherent disconnect between people’s online personas and who they are in real life, creating a divide between their IRL (in real life) and URL (online) identities. The way we represent ourselves online-through curation and manipulation-creates a discrepancy between the expectations we have of ourselves and our actual experiences, leading to feelings of inadequacy and making it difficult to perceive and connect to others in real life. This week I’m exploring the idea of the real vs. ideal self and investigating how, in the age of the internet, we might reconcile the two. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hari Nef and I have known each other for almost 8 (?!) years. It’s been incredible to watch her blossom into the accomplished model, actress, and writer that she is today.

We talk about the letter she wrote to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie which landed her the role in Barbie and what it was like behind-the-scenes of the controversial new Sam Levinson and The Weeknd HBO Max series.
