Positive thinking is supposed to help. So why does it sometimes make everything worse?

This episode is honest about something most coaches won't say — that positive thinking, applied in the wrong way at the wrong time, can actually add to your overwhelm rather than ease it. Including one of the worst pieces of advice I was ever given.

• why positive thinking can backfire for driven, sensitive people
• the difference between genuine positivity and toxic positivity
• what to do when positive thinking just adds more pressure
• a more honest, effective alternative that actually works
• why neutral noticing beats forced positivity every time

For anyone who's been told to think positive — and felt worse for trying.

The podcast for high earning, big-hearted, driven professionals  and business owners who want to break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.
