Unmask My Mind

In Episode 9 of Unmask My Mind, we explore what it means to feel seen through the screen. From comfort shows to iconic pop culture moments, this episode dives into how media can become a mirror—reflecting who we are, who we were, and who we’re still becoming. It’s about connection, identity, and the quiet healing that happens when a character, a song, or a story understands you in ways real life sometimes doesn’t.

Episode 8 of Unmask My Mind is your invitation to rewrite your story. Let go of the roles, expectations, and narratives that no longer fit, and step into the version of you that feels true. With a nod to Women’s History Month, this episode explores the courage it takes to choose yourself, embrace change, and take up space unapologetically. You are not your past—you are the author now.

In this episode, we unpack what happens when you’re an adult who still feels five years old around a certain parent. We explore how childhood fear wires itself into your nervous system, why your body still braces before visits, and how that fear quietly shapes your voice, boundaries, and choices. Then we dive into Opposite Action, a powerful DBT skill that helps you respond from your grounded adult self instead of your conditioned child self. This isn’t about blame. It’s about unhooking from old patterns and choosing courage, regulation, and self-trust in real time.

This episode is about loosening the grip. Unlearning the need to curate life in order to feel safe. Trusting the universe when your mind is wired for control, overthinking, and survival. A soft reminder that you don’t have to perform your healing. You’re allowed to exist without editing.

In this episode of Unmask My Mind, we talk about protecting the inner child when the world keeps demanding adult armor. I unpack what it’s like living with AuDHD, how trauma doesn’t clock out when we grow up, and the quiet ways negative self-talk sneaks in and shapes how we see ourselves. This is a soft but honest conversation about survival, unlearning shame, and learning how to meet ourselves with patience instead of punishment. If you’ve ever felt like your younger self is still trying to be heard, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Unmask My Mind, I explore burnout through the lens of AUDHD, trauma, and the many layers of self that take turns holding it all together. I talk about crafting as regulation, recognizing burnout early, choosing group therapy, and allowing soft days without guilt. Healing isn’t linear. It’s layered. And rest is part of the work.

A candid conversation about AUDHD burnout, unmasking, and choosing rest over hustle. Soft life isn’t laziness — it’s survival. ⚠️Content warning⚠️: Discussion of 🍃cannabis🍃 use.

In this episode I get real on Meltdowns. What they are, how they present in me, and what I do to take control back.
