In this episode, I sit down with Tefi to discuss everything from the concept of struggle and “deserving” success; to how she knows so much about pop culture and how that became a shared language in her family; to how pop culture knowledge helped develop her empathy when she was young. We talk about being “known” by social media followers and selective vulnerability, Tefi’s best friend vibe and not always being a “nice” person, and the idea of feeling unlikable. Finally, Tefi shares how her mental health is right now and how she has dealt with the evolution of female friendships, from breakups to equally participating in toxic dynamics.
