"I got into my first 'dream job.' It was everything I thought I wanted. Big name. Big opportunity. But within a few months, I felt completely drained. I realized—I was hiding who I really was just to survive the culture. I didn’t even know what my core values were back then. All I knew was that something didn’t feel right."

In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, Jenny Barkan and I dive deep into masking in the workplace—what it is, why we do it, and how it slowly erodes our energy, creativity, and confidence.

We talk about:
✅ The difference between adapting and masking
✅ What to do when your values don't align with your company's culture
✅ How leaders can create spaces for authenticity
✅ Why self-awareness is where it all begins

Whether you're a leader, teammate, or just trying to find where you belong, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
