This week's episode features a buzzword that you may have seen floating around on social media. We're talking about Toxic Positivity. It's become a very common thing as of late and represents this idea where everything is happy and perfect. You've all seen the memes and hashtags online that feature phrases like 'Good Vibes Only' and 'Life Is Good.' People take positivity to such a point where they no longer understand how to handle and deal with other emotions. The Toxic Positivity doesn't make us feel better. In fact it makes us more depressed and anxious. Why is that? Whitney Goodman has the answers.

If the name Whitney Goodman sounds familiar, you may recognize it from her super popular Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Her book 'Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real In A World Obsessed With Being Happy is fascinating. I really loved reading it and enjoyed speaking with her. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
