About this listen

Halloween is over—but are you still wearing a mask? Many creatives know the pressure to put on a confident face while hiding self-doubt, overwhelm, or neurodivergent traits. But behind the polished exterior, masking takes a big toll.

Neuroscience shows that constantly suppressing your true self strains the brain, heightens stress, and can fuel imposter syndrome. In this episode, we explore the hidden costs of masking in creative work and how dropping the “costume” can unlock more authentic confidence and creative flow.

You'll learn:

  • Why masking drains your mental energy and reinforces imposter feelings.
  • How the brain responds when you suppress your authentic self.
  • Practical strategies to build real confidence without hiding behind a mask.

Gert ready to discover how dropping the mask can free your brain, boost your confidence, and ignite your creativity! LET'S ROCK!
