Listen "The Mask of Fame (ft. Kelsey Russell and Pervis Taylor III)"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores how celebrities and public figures — often idolized or scrutinized — wear emotional masks to hide their pain, trauma, or inner turmoil. We dig into the pressures of fame, toxic perfectionism, public opinion, and the toll it takes on mental health. By looking at real-world figures and fictional parallels, we create a dialogue around visibility, vulnerability, and the cost of hiding behind an image.
