Episode Summary
In Unmasking My Hidden Chapter: When “I’m Fine” Wasn’t the Truth, Genevieve shares a season she doesn’t talk about often, the years she spent teaching even though her heart wasn’t in it. After failing her Praxis exams and questioning her purpose, she found herself putting on a smile and saying “I’m fine” when she really wasn’t.
In this episode, Genevieve talks about what it felt like to keep that mask on for so long and what finally helped her take it off. She opens up about the pressure to prove herself, the lie that she wasn’t enough, and the truth she found in Scripture that reminded her who she really was.
This episode isn’t about Halloween costumes , it’s about the real-life masks we wear to look okay when we’re not. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you had to keep it all together, this one will remind you that God already calls you enough, even when you don’t feel like it.
✨ Episode Takeaways
- We all wear masks sometimes to protect ourselves, to fit in, or to avoid being misunderstood.
- Self-doubt has a sneaky voice, but it’s not the truth.
- Scripture reminds us who we really are when the world tells us otherwise.
- When we start unmasking, we start growing one layer at a time.
- Becoming your true self isn’t instant… it’s a journey, and it’s worth every step.
