Most of us spend years pretending — acting like we’re fine, performing for approval, or hiding the parts of ourselves we don’t think are “good enough.” But what if the real breakthrough happens the moment you stop pretending?
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Julia Garcia sits down with Kwame to unpack what it truly means to be yourself. Her story is raw, courageous, and full of practical wisdom about hope, identity, and rebuilding your confidence from the inside out.

Julia opens up about:
The moment her life collapsed — and why it became the turning point
How pretending, perfectionism, and worthlessness quietly shape our identity
Why hope has nothing to do with happiness (and why that matters)
The emotional habits that can transform your entire life
How a single word — maybe — changed her future
If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you pretend to be… this episode will help you reconnect with the real you and take the first step toward the life you want.
