Show Notes

In a world where we can find ourselves neck-deep in overwhelm, burnout and event compassion fatigue like we discussed in the last episode - we can also feel our emotions are glossed over with toxic positivity.

In this episode that is a replay of one of the more popular episodes from the first season of We All Have Something, "Toxic Positivity vs Positive Thinking" - It's one thing to look for a silver lining in what may be considered a bad situation.  But it's something else entirely to sugar coat a bad situation so much that you ignore and invalidate real emotions.

In this episode we look at how toxic positivity is defined, how positive thinking & negative thinking impacts your daily life and what you have in life that is worth celebrating!  So sit back and join me as we explore the balance being realistic and genuine with our positive outlook on life.
