We spend years building versions of ourselves that fit the expectations around us. At work, we show up one way. With family, another. In relationships, yet another. What happens when that carefully constructed life suddenly stops feeling like protection and starts feeling like a cage?
In today's solo episode, I reflect on discovering the masks I've worn and the real cost of performing rather than living. I share the difference between force (the exhausting energy of proving, protecting, and pleasing) and power (the quiet, sustainable energy that rises from within). Through exploring my own ancestry and practicing honest self-reflection, I discovered something unexpected: I have the power to become the person I want to be, even in my seventh decade. This episode is an invitation to ask yourself where you're performing instead of living in truth.
Tune in and listen to the forty-seventh episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to recognize the masks you're wearing and what becomes possible when you finally take them off.
