Through the Lens: How We See Ourselves and Each Other



Why do we cringe at the sound of our own voice or shy away from being photographed? In this episode, Fawn and Matt explore the emotional and psychological layers behind self-perception and how we interpret one another. From the science of hearing your voice through bone and muscle to the deeply spiritual experience of being seen—truly seen—through a camera lens, this episode invites listeners to question the filters we all carry. Fawn shares vulnerable stories from her journey as a photographer and voice actor, revealing how intention, empathy, and awareness can shift how we show up in the world and connect with others. Join the conversation on how perception shapes reality—and friendship.



Fawn and Matt unpack the emotional complexity behind how we perceive ourselves—through voice, photographs, and the often-invisible space in between. From the discomfort of hearing your own voice to the shock of seeing yourself in a photo, Fawn shares deeply personal experiences as a professional photographer and communicator. The conversation explores how filters—emotional, cultural, and even spiritual—affect not just how we see others, but how we interpret what they project. Together, Fawn and Matt dive into the unseen universes between people, shedding light on empathy, identity, and the art of truly seeing. A powerful reflection on presence, authenticity, and how being mindful of the “in-between” can reshape our relationships and the world around us.
