Should you fake it until you make it... or embrace a fully authentic existence, warts and all? That's the discussion on this week's episode of I Said What I Said with Loulou O-Ren!

Loulou shares her journey from feigning happiness to valuing authenticity - including seeking professional help, starting medication for anxiety and depression, and the noticeable positive changes these have brought.

After deferring the final year of University to focus on mental well-being, Loulou also touches on the societal pressures, especially as a trans woman, to maintain a 'perfect' appearance and lifestyle, advocating for self-acceptance and rejecting unrealistic standards.
