#121 - Losing My “Self” in Bali - Blue Lagoon Snorkelling & Deep Conversations on The Masks We Wear (4k)

In this special vlog-style episode of the Awaken Out Of Context Podcast, we head to the Blue Lagoon in Bali for more than just snorkeling. What starts as a "Coffee Crawl" turns into a deep dive into the human psyche.We explore the concept of the "Performance Mask"—the characters we create to be loved or noticed—and whether we’re losing our true selves in the process. From tarot readings in a local bar to spiritual moments underwater, we discuss:The psychology of why we perform (and the "McConaughey Effect")Dismantling identity: Who are you when the cameras are off?The "Five Why’s" of finding your core mission.A spontaneous lesson in gratitude and the "Golden Days."🌊 Join the conversation: Do you feel like you're playing a character in your daily life?
