“Fake it till you make it” — we’ve all heard the phrase, but is it really helpful, or are we buying into a lie?
In this episode of Breen Time, Sabrina reflects on her own experience of faking it: how it led to a false version of herself, why people sense when our energy isn’t real, and what it took to rediscover the power of authenticity. Together with her guest, Bonnie Ho (bonniehoinsights.com), Sabrina explores why so many of us feel pressured to “fake it,” what drives that behaviour — from ego to core beliefs — and whether there are ever any genuine benefits.
You’ll hear an honest conversation about the pitfalls and potential upsides of “faking it,” and discover why grounding yourself in authenticity might just be the most powerful strategy of all.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer sense of when confidence-building through action can serve you — and when it risks pulling you away from your true self.
