Truth, Identity and the Pressure to Conform

In this episode of What the Feeling, I sit down with my friend Laura to explore what it really means to live between who we are and who the world expects us to be.Laura shares her powerful journey of losing 50 kilos, but more importantly, letting go of the weight she carried from other people’s opinions. We dive into the stories we tell ourselves, how those stories shape how we feel, and what it takes to rewrite them.This conversation goes beyond physical transformation. We talk about identity, family, and the ripple effect that change can have, especially in a world where our children are also navigating who they are and where they belong.It’s raw, honest, and deeply human.If you’ve ever felt the pressure to fit in, to be someone you’re not, or struggled to hear your own voice over the noise - this one’s for you.
