In this episode of my podcast, I opened up about my personal experience with grief and how it shaped my career as a life coach. Losing my mother to breast cancer at the young age of 11 was a devastating experience that left me feeling lost and alone. 

Years later, I faced another loss when my father passed away in 2007. However, this tragedy led me to eventually pursue a career in the fitness industry. It was through my work in the fitness industry that I found my passion for coaching and helping others. 

Through my own experience with grief, I realized the importance of having a supportive community and the impact that a coach can have on someone's life.

My hope with this episode is to encourage other women who may be going through a difficult time to seek support and to show them that it's possible to turn their pain into purpose. If you're interested in hearing more about my journey and the lessons I've learned along the way, I invite you to subscribe to my podcast and share it with anyone who may benefit from it. Remember, you're not alone in your struggles, and there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

In today's episode, we're going to explore the topic of toxic positivity, a mindset that encourages people to always see the bright side of things, even in situations where it might not be appropriate or possible. While positivity can be a powerful tool for improving mental and emotional well-being, toxic positivity can have some negative consequences, especially for busy female entrepreneurs who are juggling multiple responsibilities and dealing with high levels of stress.

We start by defining toxic positivity and discussing some common examples of why it can be harmful. We then dive deeper into the pitfalls of toxic positivity, including how it can perpetuate feelings of shame and guilt, create pressure to be happy all the time, and lead to avoidance of problems. We provide practical tips for overcoming toxic positivity and developing a positive mindset that honors and processes all emotions, including the importance of self-compassion, honest communication, seeking support, and reframing negative experiences in a more positive light. Listen to this episode for valuable insights and strategies to help you thrive.
