We Still Like Each Other

Episode 023: Toxic Positivity feat. Brittany & Leo Polanco


Listen Later

This week Stephanie & Travis are joined by Brittany and Leo Polanco. Brittany amassed a 10K following on Instagram by sharing her personal journey with debt freedom. Her and Leo’s journey inspired Stephanie and Travis back in 2018 which they discuss in Episode 002: This Is Uncharacteristic Of Me.  They also got a small taste of what recording a podcast with a baby at home might be like. It wasn't as bad as they expected. Travis is a master sound and video engineer and that's on that! 

The Polanco’s give us details on their decision to purchase a home. They discuss how their priorities shifted once becoming parents and how some ‘homeowner v. renter’ misconceptions can lead to financial hardships. 

Have y'all noticed a trend in which people prefer to see and read about our struggles? When people are constantly sharing positive things it is labeled, “Toxic Positivity”. How does this impact how we decide what to share on our social platforms? How has this ideology played a role in the shift in Britany’s Instagram which is no longer heavily finance based? 

A big thank you goes out to Feedspot who ranked us number 11 on their Top 45 Relationship Podcast list: https://blog.feedspot.com/relationship_podcasts/
