We all wear masks—some to survive, some to be loved, some to keep the peace. In this episode, I explore the personal, cultural, and archetypal masks that disconnect us from our truth, and the cost of living behind them.

I share a powerful dream of a shapeshifter that revealed my own mask—born from childhood trauma, reinforced by emotional abuse, and sustained by a culture that rewards performance over presence. We’ll explore Jung’s concept of the persona, the shadow side of the shapeshifter archetype, and how these masks shape our relationships, self-worth, and freedom.

Through story, dreamwork, and reflection, I open a conversation about what happens when we finally take the mask off—and the life, voice, and authenticity waiting beneath it.
