Summary In this episode of Coffee with Mailette, Mailette explores the concept of identity and the various masks we wear throughout our lives. She shares her personal journey of recognizing the roles and personas that have defined her, the impact of these masks on her well-being, and the importance of returning to one’s authentic self. Through insightful reflections and practical advice, Mailette encourages listeners to identify their own masks, embrace their imperfections, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and authenticity. Takeaways Identity is shaped by the masks we wear. Masks can serve us but can also trap us. Success on the outside doesn’t guarantee inner alignment. Recognizing the signs of wearing a mask is crucial. It’s important to differentiate between who you are and what you do. Resting is not a sign of laziness; it’s necessary for well-being. Self-discovery involves getting in touch with your true self. Journaling and therapy can aid in the journey back to authenticity. Embracing imperfection is part of the human experience. You are worthy for who you are, not just your achievements.
