We’ve all heard the phrase “ignorance is bliss,” but what does that really mean in a world overflowing with information, crisis, opinions, and noise? In this episode, we dig into the delicate balance between staying aware and protecting our peace. How much do we actually need to know.. And when does awareness start weighing us down instead of waking us up?

We talk about the quiet ways we slip into avoidance: muting the headlines that feel too heavy, scrolling past the things we’re not ready to face, distracting ourselves just to feel a moment of ease. And we ask the real question: is this harmful, or is it human?

This episode is a reflection on the tension between truth and comfort, exposure and self-preservation, awareness and the longing for that untouched, easy kind of bliss. Not to shame it, but to understand it.. and maybe find a healthier middle ground.
