The world is a wonderland...the same one Alice found herself in. Everything is distorted and nothing appears real, while the fakest thing can feel like the most authentic experience. The podcast will take a look at how our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact how we relate to one another. With a male and female perspective from guests in different fields and life experiences, we aim to use real-world examples of how the looking glass self-theory has an impact on all relationships. We will address societal, cultural, and mental health concepts in everyday terms as we work towards personal growth that allows us to build authentic relationships and attract connections meant for us. While there may have been mental health concepts discussed, this podcast is not meant to be a substitute for diagnosis or mental health care.
