Hello, welcome back to Be You Unapologetically Podcast. I'm your host, Kyra Carlin, and today is a very special

unplanned episode. If you guys follow me on social, I have been really being vocal about my feelings,

how I feel, how I can help you feel better. And one of the IG TVs that I put out this past week from a live video. I labeled it, Girl, Put Down Your Mask.

And I titled it that because I have found myself in the season of so many parts of my life

running around, trying to be what other people wanted. And I really felt like it resonated. I had a lot of feedback that this is something that needs to be spoke on more.

So before I dive into it, I want to feel like a series of episodes.

I'm going to give you the original.

And I am going to tell you it is a recording.

It's not perfect sound quality.

But I think the message is very needed. So I hope you enjoy.

Hello, friends. I am here. I am here for this message. Y'all, I just went live in a couple different,

I had a team page to go live in. I had a sister friend of mine going live

in her group. And I just have this message on my heart that I felt like I know. I know

so many need to hear. And I thought the best and the easiest way that I can do is just come in here and share and go live.

So I want you guys say hello when

you guys hop on, say hi. My heart. And this may be a little bit of a wake up call. And y'all,

I haven't done these in quite a bit, but it has been on my heart to share this. And it's a good,

it's a good reminder for all of us. So I don't know about you, but there have been so many times in my life a lot, a lot of times.

Actually, we're just going to go right into it. There have been so many times in my life

where I have just felt like who I am and what I do is not enough for somebody. So then I will

act, create, do something. I will change who I am, what I'm showing up like to either be notice, accepted, appreciated by somebody else. Has anybody else ever done that? Have you ever been like, oh, well, you know, my new boyfriend really loves NASCAR. So I'm going to love NASCAR all the time. And I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that. And you find yourself just like kind of running around picking up masks and putting them on.

And then but when they don't notice then you're like, I'm not good enough.
