Sometimes the most significant toll we pay is the one we hide behind a smile. In this episode of OwlCast, David Morelli and Alexandria Ravencroft explore the emotional labor of maintaining a positive front,especially in leadership, service roles, and workplaces that reward performance over authenticity. 

Together, they dive into the true cost of constantly self-regulating, masking discomfort, and managing the emotional experiences of others. From burnout and resentment to missed signals and disconnect, the consequences ripple far beyond the individual. This conversation offers insight into the invisible pressure to stay upbeat and the freedom that comes with choosing presence over pretense.
