We all wear masks. The strong one. The joker. The overachiever. The one who says “I’m fine” when they’re anything but.
In this episode, Sam strips back the layers and explores the hidden emotional toll of pretending to be okay. With raw honesty and lived experience, he unpacks why so many of us hide behind roles and expectations — and what it really costs us.
This isn’t just a conversation about mental health. It’s about identity, survival, and learning to live without the mask.
