We all play roles—rule follower, wise teacher, good mom, good friend. But what happens when those costumes start to feel like cages instead of protection? In this episode you’ll hear: ✨ Why many of the roles we take on are really shields to avoid rejection or being misunderstood. ✨ The practice of noticing which roles feel imposed, and how to release them with compassion. ✨ Why surrendering the performance feels vulnerable—but also more true. Take a breath, let the costumes drop, and remember: you are your greatest gift.
