This week on the #RadicallyLovedPodcast, Rosie and Whitney talk about understanding and overcoming toxic positivity.
Toxic positivity is not positivity at all. Presenting a false smile while suffering can hurt you. People would prefer to put on a happy facade than deal with the situation, but setting aside or swallowing feelings and forcefully projecting positivity leads to more unhappiness. In this episode, Rosie and Whitney delve into the causes of toxic positivity and the importance of dealing with our negative emotions.
