Episode 12: Why I Stayed in Denial (And What Finally Snapped Me Out of It)
Manage episode 499011096 series 3648047
Let’s talk about the kind of denial nobody warns you about.
In this episode, I’m opening up about the quiet, sneaky version of denial I lived in after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...the one that looks like “I’m fine” on the outside, while everything’s actually falling apart underneath.
We’re getting into:
- What denial really looks like (hint: it’s not just refusing your diagnosis)
- Why I stayed stuck for longer than I’d like to admit
- What finally shook me out of it-and it wasn’t a doctor, a scare, or a number
- How to come out of denial without shame, pressure, or perfection
If you’ve ever felt like you’re coasting, avoiding, or waiting for a magical Monday to get it together, this one’s for you.
This episode is raw, real, and full of the stuff we don’t say out loud often enough.
You’re not alone in this. And you’re not stuck.
Thanks for listening...and if this episode hit home, share it with someone else who needs to hear it.
