Who Are You Right Now?
In the very first episode of Who Are You? The Elemental Teen Podcast, host Micki sits down with Emma and Olivia Butterfly (OB), two 19-year-olds navigating that messy, beautiful space between high school and "real life." Emma is completing her yoga teacher certification in California, while OB is pursuing dance through Alvin Ailey's professional program in New York City.
Instead of the usual "what do you want to be when you grow up?" conversation, we dive into a different question entirely: Who are you right now? What does it mean to practice "the art of being human"?
Through the lens of the four elements - fire, earth, air, and water - we explore how these two friends process emotions differently, show up in relationships, and navigate the constant pressure to have it all figured out. From OB's one-on-one loyalty to Emma's community-focused energy, from stepping to the front of dance class to finding authenticity in the everyday moments.
This is a real conversation about identity, friendship, passion, and the courage to not have all the answers. No performance, no perfection - just two teens being honest about who they are in this exact moment.
About The Elemental Teen
The Elemental Teen is a space for teenagers and young adults to explore the deeper question of who they really are. Through the language of the four elements — fire, earth, air and water — we explore identity, self-understanding, and what it means to trust yourself in a world that is constantly telling you who to be. No overwhelm. No pressure. Just you, learning how you actually work.
