In this episode, I read aloud my latest Substack piece: Stop Reading My Face. It’s about facial masking, trauma, ADHD, and the cognitive cost of constantly performing clarity for others. If you’ve ever been misunderstood because your expression didn’t match your intent, or punished for how your face looked while someone else was speaking, this one’s for you.I share how a smile in the wrong moment led to a full-circle realization about my childhood, my relationships, and why so many neurodivergent women are losing the ability, and willingness, to mask.This is a love note to everyone who’s exhausted by being misread, mislabeled, and emotionally multitasking just to survive the room.Burnout isn’t always about doing too much. Sometimes it’s about being too much in a system that doesn’t know how to receive you.If this resonates, hit subscribe. If it pisses you off in a good way, send it to someone who keeps misreading your damn face.
