You know masking is draining you, but what does "unmasking" actually look like? When advice says "just unmask," where do you even start?
Here's the thing - you've been masking unconsciously for decades. So unmasking means consciously identifying things you didn't even know you were doing.
This episode is your practical starting menu. Seven different areas where you can experiment with dropping the mask and being more you, even if you don't know what the unmasked you looks like yet.
In This Episode:
- Why unmasking starts in safe, contained spaces (not announcing to your whole family at Thanksgiving)
- The energy you get back when you stop translating yourself all day long
- How "letting yourself" language reveals internalized ableism
- Real examples that might spark your own unmasking experiments
Think buffet style - take what resonates, leave what doesn't. The goal isn't making everyone comfortable with your needs. It's stopping the exhaustion of pretending you don't have them.
