“I’m fine.”
Translation: I’m spiraling internally while smiling like a pageant contestant.
Sound familiar? In this episode, we’re pulling the mask off the mask. Why do we pretend we’re okay when we’re absolutely not? Why do we default to “polite and pleasant” when what we really need is honest and messy? And how does this emotional censorship slowly eat away at our relationships, our health, and our sense of self?
This week, we’re talking:
- The psychology of emotional masking
- What happens when we chronically suppress what we really feel
- How the “I’m fine” script is a trauma response dressed in manners
- Why saying what you actually feel isn’t “too much,” it’s necessary
- Tools to express your truth without burning bridges or imploding
This isn’t about yelling your feelings at strangers. It’s about reconnecting to your real self—and giving others the roadmap to do the same.
If you’ve ever: ✔️ Said “no worries” while grinding your teeth
✔️ Laughed off a serious hurt to keep the peace
✔️ Felt invisible in your own relationships
This one’s for you.
