Grown Woman Shit:
Unmasking: Who are you without the Mask?
Sis, the show is over. It’s time to meet the real you.
Always on.
Always perfect.
Always put together.
You’ve perfected the performance.
At work? You’re “the dependable one.”
With friends? The strong one, the funny one, the one who always has it together.
With family? The one who keeps the peace, even when you’re crumbling inside.
But here’s the gag: behind the mask, you’re exhausted. Over it. Maybe even wondering if anybody really knows you at all.
Join Coach Alex of The Dotson Effect™ for an unfiltered, soul-nourishing experience for grown, brilliant, burnt-out Black millennial women who are tired of surviving and ready to feel again. This month we’re putting the performance down, taking the mask off, and remembering who the hell you are when no one’s watching.If you’ve been looking for a real conversation, real community, and a real shift—pull up.
Because peace is your birthright. But first—you gotta stop lying to yourself.
This is for the strong friends.
The overachievers.
The women who are tired of clapping for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside.
Clarity on which masks you’ve been wearing and why
Freedom to show up without the heavy armor
Tools to start practicing authenticity without guilt
Community of women reminding you that your unfiltered self is worthy of love, respect, and space
My Promise to You
You’ll leave this 90 live session with:
Real talk. Real breakthroughs. Real community.
🎭 The Cost of the Performance
How being “on” all the time robs you of intimacy, peace, and authenticity—and why you can’t heal while pretending.
👩🏾🎤 The Many Masks We Wear
The Strong One. The Smart One. The Pretty One. The Funny One. The Peacekeeper. Which mask are you hiding behind, and what would it look like to put it down?
💡 A mirror, not a mask:
You’ll finally see you—clearly. Not the version you perform at work. Not the version who’s always okay. But the version who’s been whispering “I can’t keep doing this” behind the scenes.
💔 The Fear of Being Seen
Let’s talk about why authenticity feels terrifying—and how to safely take off the armor without losing yourself (or everyone around you).
✨ Living Unmasked: Real tools, not just vibes
Practical tools, reframes, and rituals for showing up raw, honest, and whole—in your career, relationships, and everyday life.
🤎 A room full of women who get it
You don’t have to explain yourself here. You don’t have to shrink, filter, or fake it. You’ll leave feeling seen, held, and not so damn alone.
🎁 BONUS: Your Soft Life Starter Kit!
Your own personal guide you can use after the event with journaling prompts, affirmations, and soft-life rituals for the week ahead!
