“Authenticity is, for me, not minding being myself anymore.”  In our debut episode, actress, singer and global face of Coach Selena Gomez talks social media and self- acceptance, her collaboration with Cardi B., and her approach to her upcoming album. “Every song is a story that I’ve experienced,” she says. “There’s nobody that’s going to tell my story better than myself.” We also hear from 16-year-old Lesseya of Los Angeles, a singer, dancer and artist whose dreams go beyond her own. The show is a collaboration between Coach and Pineapple Street Media. Original theme music is by Hansdale Hsu.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
