A Cup of TeaCognitive DissonanceCognitive dissonance is a normal psychological phenomenon that every human being struggles with in distinct ways. These are the moments in life where cognition comes into direct conflict with reality in unique ways. In this episode, co-hosts Antasia, Tal, and Jared explore the psychology and science underpinning cognitive dissonance as well as the theory which attempts to explain it. Ultimately, it is up to the individual on how to best address this state of dissonance.

A Cup of TeaThe Pacific Coast HighwayThe Pacific Coast Highway, otherwise known as the PCH, has a reputation for being a beautiful, yet lengthy, scenic route along the shore of the Pacific Ocean in the United States. Listen as co-hosts Antasia and Jared recount their week-long journey from sunny Monterey, California all the way up to rainy Seattle, Washington.

A Cup of TeaGender Identity InclusivityTo celebrate Pride month, co-hosts Antasia and Jared evaluate the state of inclusion with respect to gender identity in the United States as of late. They examine survey data collected by the Pew Research Center which unveils some encouraging statistics along with other deeply concerning trends.

A Cup of TeaThe Mandela EffectWhy does it seem like history continues to rewrite itself right before our eyes? Something that we remember from our past is not how we observe it today. This is a more recent phenomena coined "The Mandela Effect".

Is this effect a mere illusion caused by a variety of psychological factors? Or is there another unexplained phenomena driving these changes?

A Cup of TeaToxic MasculinityHow is toxic masculinity poisoning the mental health of cisgender males in modern society? What other impacts has the patriarchy had on all people including men themselves? On today's Iced Tea episode, co-hosts Antasia, Jared, and Tal convene to share their thoughts on what makes the 'ideal' form of masculinity 'toxic' in reality. Whether it's a lack of inclusion, accountability, or empathy, the end result is the same.
