Dilyn's Dialogues

Why do humans cry? In this episode, I explore something we all experience—but rarely stop to understand. Not all tears are the same. Some are basal tears —quiet, constant, keeping our eyes moist and protected. Some are reflex tears —an immediate response to irritants like smoke, dust, or even cutting onions. But then there are emotional tears —and that’s where things get deeper. Crying isn’t weakn...

After pressing pause on Dilyn’s Dialogues for a while, I’m back—and this episode explains why. In this Season 2 premiere, I talk about what led me to step away from the podcast: the reality of balancing school, life, and the sneaky grip of perfectionism.

This isn’t an ending—it’s a pause, a mom...

Moving through loss, embracing new opportunities, and discovering the power of support an...

In this episode, I sit with the feeling of being adrift—without clear purpose, weighed down by sadness, and unsure of the next step. It’s not about fixing or wrapping things neatly, but about naming what it means to feel lost and allowing space for that raw, human vulnerability.

In this episode of Dilyn's Dialogues, Dilyn gets real about the difference between regret and grief, sharing a personal story about how change and new beginnings can bring up feelings of loss. She explains disenfranchised grief—the kind of grief that isn't always recognized or understood by others—and reminds listeners that it's okay to feel both excitement for what's ahead and sadness for what’s...
