#40 – Toxic Positivity


Listen Later

Is it toxic to badmouth positivity?

Maybe. 

But if you know me, I like to stir the pot a little.

Also, as part of the coaching and personal development industry, I feel a duty to call out harmful practices. 

That way, potential clients can recognize them, avoid them, and self-innoculate for those moments when they show up out of nowhere. 

(Yes, even when it's something I say.)

It's time to burn down lies like:

  • If you got cancer, you manifested it with negative thinking
  • Bad things are happening because you let in the bad thoughts
  • The whole point of life is to be happy, and it's actually possible to be happy all the time
  • Personal development means pushing away or ignoring negative experiences (others' and your own)
  • We need to silence the low vibe parts of us
  • Suzy reached her business/weight/dating goal faster because her thoughts are better than mine

In this episode, you'll learn why toxic positivity is such a hot trend, where it comes from, and what you can do when it shows up in your life.
