Wearing the mask might help us survive the day—but at what cost? In this episode of A Place to Yap, I open up about the exhaustion of performing, the silent toll of peacekeeping, and even the $500 price tag my body handed me for clenching my jaw at night. Silence isn’t peace if it costs you your health, your money, and your sense of self.

✨ We’ll explore:

• The emotional + physical exhaustion of wearing a mask

• How self-silencing can literally harm your health

• The price of peacekeeping vs. real peace

• Steps to slowly take off the mask and reclaim your truth
