In this raw and reflective episode, we dive into the emotional labor of pretending to be okay when you're anything but. "Faking Joy" explores how trauma survivors often learn to wear happiness as a mask—smiling through pain, showing up for others while silently falling apart, and becoming experts at emotional camouflage. We unpack the deep-rooted survival patterns behind this performance, the cost it takes on our mental health, and how to start reclaiming authentic joy on our own terms. If you've ever felt like you're performing happiness just to be accepted or keep the peace, this conversation is for you.Thank you for tuning in to Unpacking Me!
