We all wear masks—at work, at home, even online. They protect us, but they also hide us. In this episode of The Mind Compass, Janet and Michael explore the different masks we put on—the corporate mask, the joker/entertainer mask, the dad mask, the bravado mask, and even the husband mask—and the hidden cost of keeping them on. 

Michael shares personal stories about juggling roles, including the bravado mask where positivity sometimes covers pain. You’ll also hear about a close friend who grew up wearing survival masks, and how Charlie Sheen’s infamous “winner” mantra revealed the dangers of bravado gone too far.
