What do we lose growing up?

In the first episode of Reel for Real – Behind the Scenes, Sonia W Kohli sits down with musician, educator and Music Mission founder Andrea Rapisarda to explore identity, confidence, creativity and the stories that shape who we become.

What begins as a conversation about music quickly becomes a deeper exploration of self-discovery, personal growth and the labels we often place on ourselves. Andrea reflects on growing up, finding purpose through creativity and why we are often far more than the roles we play.

Together, they explore what happens when we stop defining ourselves by a single title and start looking beyond the image people see.

In this episode you'll discover:

• What do we lose as we grow older

• Why self-discovery is a lifelong journey

• How creativity can help us reconnect with ourselves

• Why confidence often grows through experience rather than certainty

• The importance of looking beyond labels and expectations

• How hobbies and passions can shape our identity

• What it means to live authentically

• What exists beyond the version of ourselves we present to the world

If you've ever questioned who you are beyond your work, your achievements or the version of yourself presented to the world, this conversation is for you.
