Have you ever noticed how quickly you brush off something that was actually really hard? This instinct to minimize difficulty might seem harmless, but it shapes how connected you feel to yourself and how honestly you experience your life.

In this episode, I explore the habit of minimizing difficulties: why we dismiss or dilute how challenging something was after it's over and how this pattern disconnects us from ourselves. Whether it's downplaying a tough day or pretending a painful experience was "fine," this habit can quietly erode self-trust and emotional awareness. You'll learn how to recognize when you're glossing over your real experience and what changes when you start telling the truth about what was hard.
