Are you a high-achieving woman secretly struggling with burnout, self-doubt, or the pressure to always “keep it together”? Learn how removing the masks you wear will help you reconnect with your Ikigai and next chapter!

In today’s powerful episode, we explore why so many women - especially in midlife and leadership roles - feel stuck behind emotional masks that once protected them but now keep them from living authentically. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really all there is?”, this conversation is your wake-up call.

Join Kavita Ahuja and guest Lisa Skeffington, award-winning psychotherapist and executive coach, as they uncover why high-achieving women feel the pressure to always have it together - and how to safely peel back the layers, reclaim your voice, and reconnect with who you truly are.


In this episode you'll discover: 

  • A powerful reframe on why your emotional “mask” once served you—but now needs to be released.

  • Tangible steps to recognize burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing for what they truly are: survival patterns.

  • The courage to start your reinvention with small, doable acts of honesty and self-compassion.


🎧 Press play to discover the first honest step to becoming the woman you’ve always been- beneath the mask.
