Drop the Mask - For Nice Guys and People Pleaser

#003 - Why the Path to Happiness Feels So Wrong


Listen Later

Hey, it’s Frederik. This conversation goes straight into the “honest mirror.” If you’ve ever felt numb, over-rational, or stuck in achievement mode while you know, that there has to be more out there. THis one is for you!

I’m joined by Carly Stephan, creator of the Personal Light Grid Activation—a somatic way of reconnecting your body’s “points of light” so you can feel grounded, clear, and alive again.

We talk about the long journey from head to heart, why comfort and convenience keep us disconnected, emotions as signals (not problems to fix), fear of rejection, and how to begin with simple curiosity. 

In this episode:

• Head vs heart in Western culture—and how to recalibrate
• Numbness, micro-traumas, and why embodiment matters
• Heart coherence as a practical bridge between physiology and emotion
• Men, fear, and “Can I still love myself after a ‘no’?”
• A gentler way to start: follow childlike curiosity, not another 10-step plan 

If this helped, subscribe and share with a friend who’s ready to drop the mask.
