What Happens When We Stop Filtering Ourselves?

from Your Odyssey Podcast · host Tara Alexandra & Karen Novy

What happens when an episode about filtering becomes completely unfiltered? Tara and Karen started with a plan for this conversation. Then a penny-farthing rolled by, the plan went out the window, and what unfolded was the honest, unexpected dialogue they needed most. In this candid, joyful, and delightfully off-script episode, they explore the different versions of ourselves we create for different spaces, the protective walls we build, and what’s possible when the person we show the world starts to reflect the person we truly are inside. From “work Tara” and Karen’s discovery that authenticity can be light, playful, and even silly, to workplace expectations, childhood clarity, and the freedom of belonging to yourself, this conversation invites you to notice where you might still be editing yourself to fit the room. Because authenticity doesn’t mean showing up the same way everywhere; it means you don’t have to shrink or smooth out your edges just to belong. If you’re tired of managing different versions of yourself and ready for your inside and outside to finally feel like a match, this episode is for you. Follow us on Instagram!
