How scary it feels to begin to come out from behind all the different masks I have spent my entire life (so far) wearing. Picking up where I left off from the last episode about calling myself on the bullsh*t.

Learning how much more vulnerable I feel as a personal journaler through podcasting versus blogging. How does one show up as their Truest Self when one is so practiced at hiding in a world which encourages false and partial personas?

Realizing that authentic living is easier said than done. As I attempt to daily embody my truths, and allow my Essence to show, I confess to not knowing exactly how to go about it.

Even among my own ethnic group I am seeing the masks we sometimes wear with each other.
