What does it really mean when we say Perception is a Mirror? In this thoughtful and deeply personal episode of Maxim EQ, hosts Mike Baumer and Sam Wahl are joined by Los Angeles-based artist, producer, and event professional Vera Lee to explore the idea that the way we experience the world is often a reflection of what’s happening within us.
Drawing from her work in live event production, creative pursuits, and personal journey of self-discovery, Vera shares how confidence, identity, and emotional awareness shape the way we interpret our surroundings, and how others respond to us in return. The conversation touches on everything from professional growth and creative expression to the evolving nature of identity, perception, and human connection.
Along the way, we examine the tension between how we see ourselves and how we’re seen by others, the role of agency in shaping our lives, and why personal growth is less about becoming someone new and more about the development of who we truly are.
A candid, insightful conversation about growth, self-awareness, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
Thanks for joining us!
