The Mask We Wear

from Living With an Invisible Learning Challenge · host Jennifer Purcell

This episode explores how people with invisible learning challenges use “masking” and perfectionism to hide struggles rooted in shame—a concept defined by Brené Brown as feeling unworthy of belonging. It explains how repeated experiences of misunderstanding turn mistakes into identity, leading to exhaustion and disconnection. The podcast encourages embracing vulnerability, normalizing needs, and making small, intentional “reveals” to replace shame with empathy and authentic connection.Use this link to find my other podcasts, Etsy Shop, and Tailored Tech Services: ⁠https://linktr.ee/JenniferPTTS?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
