Welcome To

The Unmask Challenge

This page gives you everything you need for Day 1: The Moment.

You don’t have to do anything fancy or forced.
You’re simply going to walk into a room that already has people in it… and notice what happens.

You can use:

  • a family gathering

  • a holiday party

  • a game night

  • a casual hangout

  • any room where people are already “in” something when you arrive

This is the only scenario you’ll be playing with in this challenge.

Your Day 1 Scenario

The Moment You Enter the Room

You walk into a room where a small group is already talking, laughing, or engaged in something together.

They’re mid-conversation, mid-moment, mid-vibe.

You step in.

Your job is simple:

Walk in.
Notice what happens.
Notice what you do next.

That’s it.

You don’t need to act, perform, or change anything about how you normally are.
You’re just paying closer attention than usual.

  • You’re looking for the flavor of the moment — the way the room responds when you arrive.

    It might look like:

    • The conversation drop
      Everything pauses for a beat, eyes flick to you, then the conversation continues.

    • The half invitation
      Someone gestures you closer, but doesn’t really make space or bring you in.

    • The quick-glance exchange
      Two people glance at each other when they see you, and you feel a little jolt of “was that about me?”

    • The invisible entry
      You walk in and it feels like no one reacts at all.

    • The spotlight smile
      One person lights up and says “Hey, you’re here!” while everyone else keeps doing their thing.

    • The social shuffle
      People shift slightly to include you physically, but don’t really loop you into the conversation.

    Nothing big has to happen.
    You’re just noticing which version actually shows up in real life.

  • This is the real reveal.

    Once you’ve walked in and clocked what the room did, pay attention to your immediate instinct:

    • Do you step forward or hang back?

    • Do you wait for someone to pull you in?

    • Do you shrink, brighten, tense, or smooth yourself out?

    • Do you over-explain, prove yourself, or go quiet?

    • Do you try to blend in, entertain, caretake, disappear?

    • Do you feel something real rise up… and then shut it down?

    • Do you stay as you are, or slip into a familiar role?

    You’re not fixing it.
    You’re not judging it.
    You’re just watching yourself honestly, in motion.

  • After the moment (later that day is fine), jot down a few quick notes or a voice memo for yourself:

    • What did the room do when you walked in?

    • What did you do next?

    • What rose up in you?

    • Where did you hesitate, shrink, or change yourself?

    • What instinct or truth was there first, before you adjusted?

    Keep it simple.
    Bullet points are enough.

    You’ll bring a short version of this into Telegram when the space opens.

    • You have your scenario now.

    • Sometime between now and the start, let this moment happen naturally.

    • Notice the room.

    • Notice yourself.

    • Capture what stood out.

    I’ll send you the Telegram link closer to December 23, and that’s where we’ll start unpacking what this moment revealed about your emerging self.

    For now, your only job is:

    Enter the room.
    Notice what’s real.
    Let yourself be seen — first by you.

Before You Go

Treat this like you’d treat a dream: what matters isn’t the details, but how you responded.
In your body. In your emotions. In your thoughts. In the tiny shifts you made without realizing it.

You’re not trying to analyze anything — you’re just paying attention to you inside the moment:

  • the rise

  • the hesitation

  • the contraction

  • the adjustment

  • the instinct

  • the flicker of who you really are

  • the part that pulled you back

Let it be simple.

You can let this scene happen anytime between now and when we begin,
but Day 1 inside Telegram is dedicated to this moment —
to sharing what actually happened when you walked into the room
and what you noticed in yourself as the scene unfolded.

That’s all for now.

Walk in.
Notice yourself.
We’ll work with what you found once we’re together inside Telegram.
