What if the version of yourself you’ve been performing isn’t the one you were born to be?

In this powerful and personal episode of Chess, Not Checkers, I’m joined by the radiant Coach Lorena Garfi—life coach, speaker, comedian, former model, and authenticity advocate—for a raw conversation on rediscovering who you are beneath the layers life has added.

Lorena shares her journey from international modeling and stand-up comedy to an internal unraveling that led her to a different kind of success: peace. Together, we talk about the pressures to conform, the fear of being “too much,” and how hitting rock bottom sometimes opens the door to true alignment.

You’ll learn:

Why authenticity isn’t about being loud—it’s about being aligned

How your childhood conditioning might still be shaping your decisions

Why creativity is a spiritual tool for healing

And how to choose the way that gives you peace, even when it’s hard

This episode is your permission slip to drop the mask, ditch the performance, and show up fully—even if you’re still figuring it out.
