She's So Lucky

103 | Overcoming Toxic Positivity and Spiritual Bypassing

Listen Later

We face some hard truths in today's episode, and also some thoughtful opportunities to change our relationship with emoting. As Black women, we are all too familiar with the strong Black woman stereotype. Many of us encountered guilt and shame when experiencing any emotions outside of gratitude. And although it's good to have perspective, we still are human and need to be able to express all of which makes us who we are - and that includes our full spectrum of emotions.

So grab a journal and have a cup of tea by your side. Get ready to push pause and give yourself the space to explore your feelings - perhaps even meeting sides you that you've never seen before.

I ALSO TALK ABOUT…

  • Our emotions are our teachers.
  • Gratitude is not a catch-all.
  • Blanket support is not real support.
  • Creating safety to emote.
