Performative Pride (Ep. 25)

This week, we hear from a listener questioning if work they initially deemed to be  meaningful has become compromised. We talk about the uneasy space where visibility, marketing, and identity collide. When does representation become performative? What does it mean to be asked to “sign off” on authenticity? And how do you hold onto your values while working within systems that reward optics over substance?It’s a conversation about compromise, integrity, and what it takes to stay grounded when your work both reflects and reshapes who you are. If you’ve ever felt proud of what you do and uncomfortable with it at the same time, this one’s for you.Have a question?
