In this episode we explore the psychology and spirituality of masking. From people pleasing and identity performance to spiritual ego and autism masking.
Why do we hide parts of ourselves?
At what point does protection become performance?
And how do we begin returning to who we really are beneath conditioning, coping mechanisms, and the need to be accepted?
In this conversation, we explore:
- people pleasing and the fear of rejection
- the emotional exhaustion of constantly performing
- spiritual ego and the ‘healed’ identity
- the difference between authentic healing and performative spirituality
- autism masking and nervous system protection
- yoga philosophy and the layers of self
- astrology, identity, and conditioning
- authenticity, safety, and self-expression
- the courage it takes to be truly seen
This episode is an invitation to gently explore the masks you may have learned to wear with compassion.

- Yoga philosophy & the koshas
