Description

There’s power in being seen… but there’s also pressure.


In this “Best-Of” episode, we explore the beauty and the burden of being a woman in the public eye. Through deeply personal stories of fame, identity, grief, and cultural expectations, these guests reflect on what it means to be visible… and misunderstood. 


This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt picked apart, underestimated, or praised for the version of herself the world projected – not the one she chose.


KEY POINTS: 

  • Melyssa Ford: The Original Video Vixen on Fame, Fear, and Finding Herself
  • Andrea Lewis on Life After Degrassi, Burnout, and Becoming a Boss
  • The Biggest Hair Myth, Texturism, and the Pressure to Be Perfect
