    Voice & Venture – Episode 3: Removing the Mask: The Power of Being Yourself
    This one’s bold, unfiltered, and fully real — strong language, strong opinions, and a few gut-punch truths included.

    Aired: January 2026 Hosts:
    Dr. AY Heath & Val Ortiz

    Description: We’ve all worn it — the mask we thought we had to put on to survive, succeed, or simply belong.

    In this powerful third episode, Angel and Val unpack what it means to finally take that mask off and lead from your truth. They explore the moments that wake us up, the pressure to conform, and how identity, culture, and conditioning shape the way we show up.

    From childhood stories to hard-earned lessons in leadership and motherhood, this conversation goes deep. It’s about burnout, breakthrough, and the radical act of choosing authenticity in a world that rewards performance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in the room, muted in the meeting, or unrecognizable in the mirror.

    🔥 The Spark with Angel challenges you to ask: Who are you without the title, the grind, or the approval?
    ⚡ The Shift with Val breaks it down: “Your value doesn't come from the mask. It comes from you.”

    Get ready for straight talk, real stories, and a reminder that the world needs your voice — not your mask.
