Do you feel like you're always "on"? Like you're editing yourself to fit in, avoid conflict, or be accepted? That’s not just being adaptable, it’s called masking, and it comes at a cost.

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, we dive into the psychology behind masking your true self, why so many of us do it without even realising, and how it affects your mental health, identity, and emotional well-being.

If you’ve ever felt:

  • Disconnected from who you really are
  • Drained by social situations
  • Like you're performing more than you're living...

…you’re not alone. And this episode is for you.

What we cover:

✔️ What masking is and where it comes from
✔️ The link between masking, anxiety, and burnout
✔️ How trauma, childhood roles, and people-pleasing patterns play into it
✔️ Real ways to start unmasking and reconnecting with your authentic self

This is for the high-functioning, heart-led, overthinking souls who are ready to stop performing and start being real.
