Description

What if the hardest battle in life isn’t work, ambition, or relationships… but simply being yourself?


In this raw and thought-provoking episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois unpack what authenticity really means — and why it’s becoming harder in a world full of filters, roles, expectations, and silent pressure to conform. From stage personas to real-life regrets, they explore the emotional and biological cost of inauthenticity, and why being true to your inner author is an act of rebellion.


You’ll learn:

  • why authenticity is a fight, not a personality trait
  • how roles, scripts, and cultural expectations secretly shape our identity
  • the hidden stress and disconnection caused by being someone you’re not
  • why “being real” increases confidence, freedom, and connection
  • how to stop performing and start self-authoring your own life


Packed with stories, neuroscience, and the kind of honesty that hits deep, this episode is a reminder that being yourself hurts sometimes — but pretending hurts more.
