In this raw, unfiltered session, I dive deep into my own shadow using Sleep Token’s new song "Damocles" as the mirror for unmasking old identities — especially the Performer Mask I've worn for years.
This isn’t just a reaction. This is real-time shadow work. This is collapsing the old structures. This is the painful, messy truth of integration, awakening, and becoming someone new.
Inside this video, you’ll witness:
How unconscious masks like "the performer" are created and worn
How neurodivergence (ADHD & ASD) adds layers to shadow work
How external validation, expectation, and old trauma wires the mind for self-sabotage
How I am deconstructing false identities in real time to reconnect with authentic self-expression
Why Sleep Token’s Damocles triggered a deep energetic and emotional purge inside me
This isn't polished. It’s not perfect. It’s real. It’s messy. And it’s necessary.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
