"Just be positive." "Everything happens for a reason." These phrases might sound helpful—but they often shut people down instead of lifting them up. Toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing are everywhere, from coaching circles to everyday conversations. And they're doing more harm than we realize.

Join Anna and Tim as they dive deep into how these patterns dismiss pain, suppress emotion, and stall true growth. They unpack red flags to watch for, how these messages show up in the wellness industry, and what to say instead when someone is struggling. If you've ever felt unseen in the name of “good vibes only,” this one’s for you.

This episode covers:

  • The difference between toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing
  • Why saying “just trust the universe” can shut people down
  • How to recognize when someone is bypassing emotional truth
  • The role of social media in spreading positivity that hurts
  • What coaches and professionals need to understand about deep pain
  • Why discomfort is necessary for healing and growth
  • Practical language to hold space instead of minimizing


Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
