When Having an Answer Becomes a Defense | Rationalization, Comfort & Growth

Why do smart, self-aware people still get stuck? In this episode, I explore how rationalization and minimization protect comfort, certainty, and the need to feel right — and how that quietly stalls personal growth. Being insightful doesn’t make us immune to avoidance. Sometimes it just gives avoidance better language. In this episode, we talk about: why rationalization isn’t lying — it’s self-protection how insight can become armor instead of a doorway why answers feel safer than questions how the need to be “right” limits growth why curiosity and continued wondering are actually good for the brain how certainty keeps us comfortable — and how curiosity keeps us evolving This conversation isn’t about being wrong. It’s about what happens when we stop wondering — and stop growing. 🎧 Listen if you’ve ever felt “done” thinking about something that still mattered.
