Episode Description
In this episode we explore what it means to wear a mask. Have you ever felt like you’re wearing a mask—not just metaphorically, but emotionally and psychologically? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the masks we wear in our daily lives, from the roles society assigns us to the personas we create for protection.
We explore the Japanese Three Mask Theory, breaking down the layers of identity we present to the world, our loved ones, and, most importantly, ourselves. But what happens when the mask becomes too comfortable? When does self-protection turn into self-deception?
From false identities imposed by others to the exhausting cycle of pretending to be someone you’re not, we uncover how societal pressures and imposter syndrome shape our self-perception. And finally, we tackle the ultimate question: What happens when you've worn the mask for so long that you forget who you truly are?
Join us as we strip away the layers, challenge the illusions, and take a step toward authentic self-discovery. Because the most powerful version of you is the one that doesn’t need a mask.
It’s time to take it off. Are you ready?
