For years, I thought strength meant silence. I wore the mask, played the part, and built armor so thick nobody could touch me. But that armor came with a cost; it kept me from knowing who I really was.

In this episode, I talk about The War Within, the battle between who we show the world and who we actually are. I dive into what it took to shed that survival mask, how sobriety forced me to face myself, and why real strength starts when you stop pretending.
