Episode 1: Hiding Behind The Mask

"Hiding the Truth I Couldn't Allow the World to See"In the debut episode of Intrusive Thoughts Unmasked, host and creator Chrissie Hodges shares two pivotal chapters of her life, the times when the mask she wore felt like the only way to survive. Believing she had to hide her true self to be accepted, Chrissie built personas that promised safety but delivered isolation.Through raw storytelling and honest reflection, Chrissie explores how those masks shaped her identity, how they eventually cracked, and how stepping into her authentic self led to connection, community, and a sense of belonging she never thought possible.This episode invites listeners to consider the masks they wear and what becomes possible when we finally take them off.Visit our website to learn more about Intrusive Thoughts Unmasked at:www.intrusivethoughtsunmasked.comAnd support, pledge, or sponsor our podcast at our Patreon account athttps://www.patreon.com/c/intrusivethoughtsunmasked
