Hi baby. Welcome to the podcast. Today we're talking about the cult of authenticity let me settle into my situation here let me pop my beverage whatever that beverage might be if you know me

you know it's a Diet Coke, I am trying to quit.

I did a photo shoot yesterday for the rebrand of this podcast.

If it's out already, then it's out. And what do you think of the rebrand?

Let me know.

Let me know in the comments below.

Let's talk about it.

I am wearing no makeup today.

I am having a moment of decombulation

because I was in full makeup yesterday. I've been running around like a crazy chihuahua and now I am in my authentic mode. This is me being my authentic self, but the reality is what is the authentic self and why

us being told constantly constantly to be authentic might not always the best thing for us okay so let's talk about

authenticity and why it's not always what it's cracked up to be I feel like in

every era and in every generation and in every modality of life

There is a cult of something like there's a cult of femininity and then it was the girl boss era wasn't it that Girl Boss era about like if you're not a girl boss I love that it's girl boss and not a woman boss and not just a boss and the fact that it got sold to women as such an appealing thing, but yet in its entirety,

it's still considered like you're still a girl. It's still such a girly feminine thing.

Like, yes, girl boss.

But they feel like they're so empowered by it anyway we move on

girl boss is a whole different conversation but let's talk about the cult of

authenticity every generation has an obsession with something I feel like there was a hippie era and

everyone was like liberated and free when the pill came out for us women okay?

Then there's the Girl Boss era now is the Trad Wife era, and it's also the authenticity era.

That if he will like you, he will like you for you.
