Why do some people refuse to acknowledge their actions? Why is it so hard for some to simply say, "I’m sorry you went through that" instead of denying or dismissing your feelings? In this episode, we’ll get into the psychology behind denial—why people rewrite history, make excuses, and struggle to own up to their behavior.

We’ll also connect this to last week’s episode on tuning out the noise. How do you move forward when someone refuses to validate your experience? How do you stop seeking accountability from people who will never give it? And most importantly, how do you protect your peace when the people around you—whether family, in-laws, or even a partner—insist on rewriting the truth?

Plus, I’ll answer three listener questions, including:

* How to handle in-laws who constantly criticize your parenting.

* How to balance communication in a relationship when you feel unheard.

* How to stop invalidating your own emotions and trust yourself instead.

If you’ve ever been made to question your own reality, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it.
