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! ✨

Memory: A Scrapbook on Shrooms
Let’s be real — sometimes we scroll through old photos and feel a weird mix of envy and cringe. Like “Ugh, I miss her”… until you remember she was spiraling over a situationship, chasing validation, and running on espresso shots and vibes.
Let's discuss the chaotic art of romanticizing your past self — and why your brain LOVES to play editor. We’re talking nostalgia bias, “the story gap,” and how your mind turns mental breakdowns into cinematic moments with a cute outfit and a grainy filter.
✨ Truth is, you’ll probably look back on this version of you someday and wish you could be her. So maybe she deserves more credit now.
