Mondays, with Cassiora + Unknown Voices, Unfiltered, without an Intro &, Without Masks

Behind the Mask Podcast

Behind the Mask, There You Are,
and that is the One I am Interested In

Newest Episode

Behind the Mask the Podcast is back in a new language: English! Simply because Cassiora got a passport and entered the wider world overseas last summer after an unexpected breakup and ran into not only one, but two soulmates outside her first hostel experience. Neither the German-American or the Italian could follow her journey if it were to continue in Norwegian, and combined with more of Cassioras clients being english or Non-Norwegian, and her intention of expanding her limits, here she is, in her first monologue in this foreign language. Subject on demand and on a Monday: Listen to “7 Biggest Mistakes Couples who end yo in cycles of conflict and repair do and how to avoid them”.

New episodes every Monday.

Behind the Mask, is Where We Are, and Where We Need to Be as Humans in Order to Connect, Love & Thrive

❋ All topics

Discover all our episodes from the newest and back, and go back and fourth, because where you are is constantly changing, and when you begin your journey towards peeling of the layers and getting to the core, what you will se will also deepen, get clearer, and more open, so what you hear tomorrow, will be different from what you were able to hear today, if you are centered on your path.

❋ Relationships + Love

What is most important to us humans, is our connections, and what we fall back on, are what is familiar, what feels like home to us. Our relationships are what causes most damage to us, and what can potentially heal us. To be both ok and to thrive, it is essential to build safe relationships and community. 7 out of 10 people do not feel worthy of love, and will not be able to relate in secure ways, or build lasting, deep connections to others. No man is an island, and mental and physical suffering is surface signals on this. Let us become secure together and experience unconditional love, which is a primary need.

❋ Family Life

In our modern times, the village is gone, the grandparents are on vacation, and what is our human nature and generational set up is blocked by modern concepts detached from reality. What is left is individuals trying to build a family by themselves, without the knowledge, skills or support needed to succeed, we run blindly around in hamster wheels fulled by ideas of independence, unprocessed traumas from our own detached childhoods, patterns of perfection reflected back to us through social media, left to ourselves and our feelings of overwhelm, shame, and mental and physical suffering, in total isolation. And we do not talk about it. Fertility rates are not sustainable, families suffer, marriages break, if we do get married and committed to each other at all, children are medicated and raised in institutions, and the list goes on. It could get a lot darker, but let us stop here, and look at the bright side of this: We have evolved for something different, and ones we realise that we are nature, and connect back to our basic instincts, our wisdom, and take responsibility not only for ourselves, but also each other, and our children, we can easily connect, cooperate, and flourish, together.

❋ Creativity

We all have much in common, as part of the same species, gender, culture, etc, but what is often missing in our modern ways of living, is our unique creative expression, our voice, our authentic being, our soul. We hide behind masks, we have adapted and shut down parts of ourselves that was not accepted, and we are filled with shame, hiding, pretending to be someone we think is worthy of love. When we heal, we build the foundation for safe, secure attachments, and relationships that become safe bases for us to explore from and come back home to, and as a bonus, when you know you are on your path, you begin to unlock your true creative potential, combined with inner peace, connection and belonging in a community. This is when life gets both easy and joyable, regardless of the ups and downs, and crises, life brings. It will stir the surface of the water, but no longer, our depths, us.

Try to see, if you can spot, who looks and speaks without a mask and who plays a role, and let them be, but know, that you can tell the difference, and that will help you to know, when to let down your own gard, meet, and begin a journey together
Our different types of episodes 

Behind the Mask: Monologue + Dialogue Episodes

Host, psychologist & mother of 4, Cassiora, speaks without a mask through endless monologues, helping her to peel of more layers, and going deeper, into the reality of things, of life, of love. When we speak out load, unfiltered, to ourselves – when we do succeed in looking away from the fact that we are recording and about to publish our vulnerability and stumbling steps – we can notice the physical changes in our body when it gets centered and steered from clarity, getting back on track through the use of our voice, the action of speaking, practicing, participating. In the first 13 episodes, Cassiora ended up creating almost only monologues, out of a realization that finding and using her own voice through this medium, was essential to prepare her, for inviting other people into a dialogue, where there are no masks, and no hierarchy, which is always the case when she works with clients as a mentor, coach or therapist. This is something different, something more wild, more vulnerable, more helpful, for the ones who engages in it, and the ones who listen, not only to the unknown voices playing around meaningful topics, but also from the effect of getting to the roots of things.
