Unmasking the False Self


Listen Later

Text Michele

Ever feel like you're wearing a mask, exhausted from performing, pleasing, or playing small? That’s your false self talking—and this episode is about gently unmasking it without guilt. The false self isn’t evil; it’s who you had to become to survive. But what helped you then is draining you now—especially in your walk with God. Join your host, Michele Kus, as we explore how true spiritual maturity isn’t about becoming a shinier version of yourself, but about unbecoming everything you’re not. Through story, scriptures, and a guided meditation, we’ll thank those old protective patterns and then let them go. Because the real you—the one God already loves and adores—isn’t lost. The real you is hidden with Christ, waiting to be revealed.
