the armour I didn't know I was wearing

in this episode, I talk about masking

the quiet ways I learned to adapt, soften, and perform

without realizing that’s what I was doing.

I reflect on how masking became automatic,

why it felt necessary,

and what it’s been like to slowly notice the cost of living armored.

this episode isn’t about taking the mask off all at once..

just about beginning to see it.
