In a recent video shared by David Letterman as a tribute to the loss of Dianne, it showed her being visibly nervous in front of a live audience. The world saw a superstar momentarily unsure of herself… and loved her even more for it.

You’ve heard the advice: “Just go live. Just hit record. Just do it messy.” 

But if you’re an accomplished woman who’s spent years building a reputation for excellence, that advice probably makes your skin crawl...and rightfully so.

In this episode, I'm calling out the online culture that glorifies “messy” as the only path to authenticity. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
