In this episode, Amber delves into the concepts of masking and code switching, their differences, similarities, causes and the impact they have, especially on neurodivergent individuals. Masking is discussed as the act of hiding one's neurodivergent traits to appear neurotypical, often in response to trauma and survival needs, while code switching involves changing languages or behaviors to fit into different social environments.

Amber discusses the emotional tolls of masking, long term effects of masking like burnout, and explains the necessity of unmasking for personal well-being and authenticity. She shares practical steps for unmasking in your relationships and creating spaces you feel safe to be your authentic self in.
