I was always playing a character I was always playing I was either playing a character or I was wearing a mask I was a version of myself that wasn't necessarily myself and I was doing that in life as well.

I was, I don't think I really,

I really did the internal work during that time

to really know who I was.

I was in a relationship that wasn't the best and I was very wrapped up in

basically I guess what other people thought of me and the image that I was putting out

there because when you're in the entertainment industry and that's what you

want to do images is a lot of it and you can get really really lost in that I think a

lot of girls a lot of women get stuck in like I

need to look a certain way or I need to be a certain way or I need to act a certain way and I think

that for years I was doing that and then when everything ended I was left with okay now

Who am I like I need to start showing up as me, as Gen Gotleyb as this, as I know who I am.

Deep down, deep down, deep down, deep down,

and I need to like take off the mask and I need to get courageous and I need to let go of the fear and I just need to be vulnerable because if I'm not vulnerable I can never allow any of the goodness to come in that I truly want to

attract as myself. I'm Srenny Rao and this is the unmistakable creative
