At first, I thought I needed to impress him.
It was a normal night — a joke here, a compliment there — until my fiancé quietly said, "Inga, I love you. You don’t have to impress me."
I was floored. I hadn't even realized I was trying. Somewhere deep down, I thought if I didn't present proof of my value, I'd lose it. Turns out, the real 'you' is always visible — no brand, no hype guy needed.
This week on Landline, we’re talking about the divine spark: that unmissable, undeniable flash of who someone really is — for better or worse.
No matter how much people curate their lives online, in person? You can always tell. You can tell when someone's good, when they're off, when they're full of it, and when they’re trying too hard (like me). It's not magic. It's human.
Have you ever caught someone's real self slipping through the cracks — maybe a creep you avoided, or a love you saw clear as day?
Have you caught yourself performing when you didn't even know you were?
Call in live Wednesday at 7 PM Central, leave a voicemail anytime, or submit online to share your story: a moment you knew exactly who someone was — or they knew exactly who you were.
