When you are experiencing emotions other than happiness, what do you do with those emotions? Do you ignore those emotions? Do those emotions bring you shame or guilt? If you are used to people in your life telling you, "Just think positivity, everything will work out" or you tell yourself, "I shouldn't be angry, I should be happy", you are engaging in toxic positivity.


In this episode, your homegirl Lydia shares her experience in suppressing her emotions through toxic positivity. She explores what toxic positivity is, how it can suppress our ability to feel other emotions, and why feeling emotions that are not positive is needed to have a deeper relationship with ourselves and others. At the end of the episode, Lydia poses the listener with a question so that once the episode ends, the work can begin.
