When Positivity Turns Harmful

 What if positivity isn’t always helpful? 

In this episode, inspired by Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman, we explore how the pressure to “stay positive” can silence real emotions, disconnect us from ourselves, and delay genuine healing. We break down the difference between emotions and feelings, examine why forced optimism backfires, and discuss what healthy support actually looks like—without denial, guilt, or false hope. 

This episode is about honesty, self-trust, and hope grounded in reality—not performance.
