Thanks for the question!
I like the idea of Russian Dolls a lot. All these different versions of ourselves are part of same person, yet slightly differently shaped. At the end of the night, all our versions fit into one, but during the day, our different versions serve different rolls. It’s something I wrestle with all the time. My “stage” self isn’t quite the same as my “regular” self - although its not a different person, just a heightened version of the original. Or even consider this - isn’t how we talk to our parents different than how we talk to our best friend? It’s not wrong, just different. But it really comes into play when you have to address an anonymous audience - say for example, I don’t know, a TEDx crowd? ;)
How do we stay vulnerable, honest and real in a room full of people we don’t know?
