About this episode
In this episode: Jen talks about the other side of masking which is unmasking! She explains how we can safely and consciously choose to un-mask, the risks for some of unmasking, and how we may find ourselves unconsciously unmasking as people around us say things like, "You're acting more ADHD/Autistic ever since your diagnosis." But it's not an act. It's our authentic selves coming through.
