In this episode of The Zaya Show, Zaya unpacks what it really means to put on a smile when life feels heavy. We’ve all had those moments where we laugh along or keep a cheerful face, even when it doesn’t match what’s happening inside. Scripted Smiles is an honest conversation about why we do it, how it affects us, and what it looks like to move from masking our emotions to embracing them. This episode is about finding authenticity, letting go of the pressure to always “be okay,” and reminding ourselves that it’s perfectly human to feel more than we show.
