At the heart of the discussion is a simple but revealing question: When did you stop being yourself around certain people? The conversation examines the moments when we begin to shrink, adjust or hide parts of ourselves to maintain relationships — and what it takes to find that sense of self again. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/lagos-talks-913-4201276/episodes/directions-23-09-2026/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/lagos-talks-913-4201276/directions-23-09-2026.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
