Denial

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

Hey, there! After this week’s 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’t 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.
