Halloween week has me thinking about masks — not the costumes we put on for fun, but the ones we wear at work.
The competent, unbothered, always-have-an-answer mask that hides the very human parts of ourselves — uncertainty, curiosity, doubt. And here’s the truth: taking that mask off is exactly where your confident voice lives.
In this episode, I share how to:
Recognize the masks you wear and why.
Spot your inner critic (The Whipper) and step back from its script.
Connect with your confident voice beneath the mask — honest, grounded, present.
Practice showing up more fully without needing to perform.
Inner critic vs confident voice: how to spot The Whipper and reclaim your nervous system.
Practical exercises for softening the mask and showing up grounded.
Why confident leadership is about presence, not perfection.
