In this episode, Jamie Chapman invites you behind the polished surface of entrepreneurship — into the quiet, hidden world of masking.

For many ADHD and heart-centered entrepreneurs, masking looks like competence, confidence, or the perfect “I’ve got it together” brand. But underneath, it’s performance — a brain-based protection strategy built to earn safety and belonging.

Jamie unpacks what happens when achievement becomes armor, how your nervous system interprets success as survival, and why unmasking isn’t failure — it’s freedom.

If you’ve ever found yourself smiling through exhaustion or performing your way toward worthiness, this episode is your permission slip to exhale.
