That mental tug-of-war?That’s cognitive dissonance — the quiet (or loud) argument happening inside your head when your beliefs, actions, and values don’t align.In this episode of Inside Out, we unpack why our brains contradict themselves, why we justify things that hurt us, and how discomfort becomes a survival mechanism.

A little unsettling. And very human.Grab your coffee. Or something stronger.Let’s turn the mind Inside Out.
