Before I Learned To Hide
from PIPE. · host Kezia Mayfield
In this deeply personal episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Kezia reflects on a recent women’s retreat that challenged her in unexpected ways. Through letter-writing, honest self-reflection, and time away from the noise of everyday life, she began uncovering the identities, labels, and survival strategies she had carried for years. What started as a retreat became a journey back to the version of herself that existed before fear, rejection, disappointment, and survival taught her to hide. Kezia shares the childhood vow that shaped many of her relationships, the realization that safety had become more important than connection, and how the masks we wear to survive can eventually keep us from fully living. This episode is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you were before the pain. Before the labels. Before the fear. Before you learned to hide. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled with people-pleasing, carried identities that never belonged to you, or wondered who you are underneath all the layers of survival, this conversation is for you. Because healing may not be about becoming someone else. It may be about coming home to who you were in the beginning. P.I.P.E. — Plug Into Positive Energy.
