What happens when one of the internet’s biggest comedy creators finally slows down and looks inward?

In this episode of You Versus You, Lex Borrero sits down with Lele Pons to explore the woman behind the viral videos: the immigrant child who didn’t speak the language, the only child craving validation, the creator battling OCD and mental health, and now the mother learning to love her imperfections and slow down.

Lele opens up about:
• How physical comedy and dark humor became her survival tools
• The moment Will Smith told her she inspired him
• Leaving Venezuela, culture shock in the U.S., and feeling completely alone
• OCD, intrusive thoughts, and why mental health is an explanation, not an excuse
• Fame, loneliness, and becoming a “character” instead of herself
• How her husband taught her to love her imperfections
• Motherhood, legacy, and the one word that defines her today: “unbreakable.”

If you’ve ever struggled with validation, burnout, or feeling “not enough,” this conversation will hit home. This is not a highlight reel – this is the real Lele Pons, in a safe space, facing her own battle of you versus you.
