Is it toxic to badmouth positivity?

Maybe.

But if you know me, I like to stir the pot a little.

Also, as part of the coaching and personal development industry, I feel a duty to call out harmful practices.

That way, potential clients can recognize them, avoid them, and self-innoculate for those moments when they show up out of nowhere.

(Yes, even when it's something I say.)

It's time to burn down lies like:

If you got cancer, you manifested it with negative thinkingBad things are happening because you let in the bad thoughtsThe whole point of life is to be happy, and it's actually possible to be happy all the timePersonal development means pushing away or ignoring negative experiences (others' and your own)We need to silence the low vibe parts of usSuzy reached her business/weight/dating goal faster because her thoughts are better than mine

In this episode, you'll learn why toxic positivity is such a hot trend, where it comes from, and what you can do when it shows up in your life.
