13. We'd Rather Lie To Ourselves | The Hinge

What does it really mean to face the truth? In this episode, Noel O'Driscoll and Jake Esman explore what happens when we stop running from reality, and what it costs us when we don't. Drawing on Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled, Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, Richard Rohr's Just This, and the Enneagram, they unpack why we resist reality even when it's right in front of us - and how acceptance, however painful, is the only path to genuine freedom. Whether you're working through grief, navigating a difficult relationship, questioning your sense of self, or just feeling vaguely stuck - this conversation meets you there.
