Lisa Bytes: When Everything's Breaking But We Keep Making School Lunches
Update: 2025-06-27
Description
Ever feel like the world is falling apart but you're still worried about what to make for dinner? There's actually a term for that, and it might just blow your mind. In this Lisa Bytes episode, I'm sharing a concept that helped me understand not just my own past behavior, but what feels like our entire collective experience right now. Spoiler alert: we're all doing it, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.
What You'll Discover:
- The term "hyper-normalisation" and why it explains SO much about modern life
- How I normalised dysfunction in my own marriage (and why we all do this)
- Why you can scroll from climate disaster news to celebrity gossip without your brain exploding
- What Soviet Russia can teach us about living with broken systems
- The weird disconnect between "everything is falling apart" and "let me plan next week's meals"
- Why that conversation with the finance dad at basketball left me feeling so disoriented
