In tonight's episode, When the Frogs Sleep unpacks the balance and tension between who we are versus the versions other people expect to see.
Labels are meant to help people identify things, but what happens when the labels don't fit? Or when people decide a label for you? This episode reflects on moments that impacted identity and expression along with the expectations people hold when you give them a label. Identity is something evolving, not fixed, and there's importance in being honest about the gap between who we are and the version of us the world is more comfortable with.
