Toxic Positivity & The Right To Complain

Love the show? Send us a text!

Have you ever heard of the phrase "toxic positivity?" Toxic positivity refers dismissing negative emotions and responding to distress with false reassurances rather than empathy. It comes from feeling uncomfortable with negative emotions. 

This week we discussed how toxic positivity can prevent us from showing up as empathetic, conscious friends. We talk the art of "complaining" and our thoughts on gratitude as it's been taught to us. We even touch on grief and how people show up for those in mourning. Join the conversation online using #gooduptuesday or tag us @gooduppod.
