Denial

Published: Aug. 26, 2021, 10 a.m.

Hey, there! After this week\u2019s tea talk (peach-blueberry tea in a Mexican mug) and a life update about the future, I talk about denial. I introduce the topic with definitions, context, and the structure for this episode. Then, I talk about why we deny the truth: how ignorance is bliss, dealing with things is exhausting, and feeling like I don\u2019t have time to address new information. Next, I question whether or not denial is healthy. Afterward, I describe how I snapped out of specific denial episodes: MUN, applying to universities, divorce and relocation, graduation, and moving. Lastly, I share my main takeaways and favourites in snacks, trends, and habits before signing off. \n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 10:16\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nFollow my TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJwKjr2L/ \nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n\u201cIgnorance is bliss\u201d\n\u201cI lived my life acting like what I thought it would look like if I didn\u2019t know\u201d\n\u201cWhen we pretend, it\u2019s most likely to convince ourselves first\u201d\n\u201cThe information is in front of you and you can\u2019t click an off switch\u201d\n\u201cWe can think that just because we don\u2019t accept something in our lives, that means it\u2019s not there, but that\u2019s not the case\u201d\n\u201cDenial is a ticking time bomb\u201d\n\u201cI was in denial that things were happening so I couldn\u2019t enjoy the moment\u201d\n\u201cDenial sucks the life out of things\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s not change we fear, it\u2019s loss\u201d\n\u201cDenial is figuring out how you\u2019re going to let something in\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m in denial because I\u2019m struggling to say goodbye\u201d\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
