66. Toxic Positivity


Listen Later

We live in a culture that loves positivity- people tend to value, respect, and admire it. But what happens if we're too positive? It can become toxic.


If we start to suppress or talk ourselves out of any negative emotion we come across- we aren't allowing ourselves the full human experience. 


Today, we dive into a lot of details about toxic positivity- what it is and why it can be a problem. We chat about the ways that we're working through it and what has helped us on that journey.
