I have a bone to pick today with this week's podcast about divides. This week I want to cover two different types of toxicities in the planner community - toxic positivity and toxic comments by community members. 

Moral of today's story is be more authentic about the struggles of life and stop being jerks about how someone plans their lives because you have no clue what someone is going through on a daily basis. As someone that struggles immensely with mental health - both toxicities have really negative affects on my mental state when I see them so prevalent in our community.

This week I talk about the concept of planning around your dream versus planning your dream. For me, I relate this concept to starting a podcast where it took my 2 years to finally start the podcast and for those 2 years, I was planning *around* my dreams. Then in 2021, I finally decided to start the actual concept of planning out a podcast.
