Delusional By Choice
Welcome to Delusional By Choice! 🎙️
I’m Dayanara, your host, sharing the messy, real moments of my life. At 28, I’m a college student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (Class of 2025 🎓) working toward my Bachelor’s in Psychology. As I dive into understanding the human mind, I’m using everything I learn to navigate life’s ups and downs.
This podcast is all about embracing “delusion” as a tool: life doesn’t always go according to plan, but we always get to choose how we show up. Each episode is like an open journal—raw, real, and filled with psychological insights to help you grow.
If you’re looking for authentic conversations and practical advice on relationships, mental health, and personal growth, you’re in the right place. Let’s figure out life together! ✨

My Life’s in Shambles, But at Least I Have Freud
The end of 2024 hit me hard, leaving me in a dark mental space with a storm of emotions —many of which contradicted each other. Stuck, confused, and searching for clarity, I turned to Freud’s Iceberg Model—exploring the Superego, Ego, and Id—to make sense of it all. In this episode, I share the perspectives that helped me unpack my conflicting feelings and begin the journey back to myself.
