Episode 10: Real Life is Terrifying

  • Summary

  • It’s episode 10! Let’s get real! In this episode we’re talking about the absolute horror show that is reality.

    Please be forewarned that episode 10 comes with a content warning. While discussing real-world horrors, we touch upon some potentially triggering topics including r*pe and ch*ld d**th. Please skip this episode if you think this episode might be too much for you. We’ll have something more entertaining and less intense for you on the next episode.

    We are constantly turning a blind eye to the terrors of the real world. It might be the only way to live a happy life. In episode 10, we look our real-world fears in the face, and acknowledge the fact that safety is an illusion that we collectively accept. It is a necessary buy-in that allows us to get through the day with a little bit of peace.

    Join me and my good friend Beck as we discuss our own experiences with home invasions, and talk about how that kind of violation influences your overall sense of safety and security, even after the fact.

    In this episode I also refer to a couple of very upsetting news stories. If you’re curious, you can read about those stories in more detail here:
