26. Top 5 Awkward Post-Show Comments (and What They Taught Me About Ego & Identity)

Julie Jo Hughes Season 1 Episode 26

Some things you just can’t un-hear after a show… In this solo episode, I’m sharing five of the most awkward (and hilarious) things people have said to me after performances—comments that caught me off guard, cracked me up, and ultimately led to some unexpected spiritual insight.

What started as uncomfortable moments became invitations to reflect on ego, identity, and how easy it is to mistake the role we play for who we really are. If you’ve ever struggled with labels, projections, or those moments that leave you thinking “wait, what just happened?”—this one’s for you.

✨ In this episode, I share:

  • The most awkward post-show comment I’ve ever received
  • Why being compared to someone famous isn’t always flattering
  • What audience feedback taught me about projection
  • A reminder not to confuse your role with your essence
  • How humor helps me process ego and return to truth

🌀 My spiritual takeaway:

I am not the character I play—and neither are you. Every weird, wonderful, and cringey moment is a chance to drop the mask and remember who we really are underneath it all.

🎧 Hit play for laughter, reflection, and a gentle reminder to take the show—and ourselves—a little less seriously.
