Toxic Positivity

When being positive goes too far...

Join Ashley and Mecca as they explore the concept of toxic positivity and its potential damaging effects. While we and others mean well when trying to "look on the bright side," it's okay to feel all of the feelings ya'll! Sometimes it's okay to pause, listen, and empathize before attempting to solve a problem.

Let's learn about how we can reframe our responses when our loved ones are facing a challenge and avoid engaging in toxic positivity. Bonus Round: Stay tuned as we discuss the impact of social media on mental health in the second half of the episode.
