In this episode, Kira, Jackie, and Darja invite you to join a blunt, relatable, and eye-opening conversation about what it means to be yourself in a world driven by profit. From the pressures of social media to the impact of toxic masculinity, they share personal stories, ask tough questions, and explore whether authenticity is something we can reclaim – or if it’s always been out of reach. Pull up a seat and listen in as they unpack the struggles, joys, and possibilities of finding the real you in a capitalist society.
