Episode 5 — When Positivity Turns Toxic
In this episode of the Vibrant Yogi Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on the well-intentioned but ultimately harmful mindset of toxic positivity. If you've ever been told to “just stay positive” when your world was falling apart, this one’s for you.
We talk about:
✨ What toxic positivity really means and how to recognize it ✨ Why pushing past hard emotions can actually block healing ✨ How this mindset shows up in wellness spaces—and why it's okay to not be okay ✨ The difference between resilience and emotional bypassing ✨ What to say instead of “everything happens for a reason” ✨ Tools to help you sit with the hard stuff (without spiraling)
This episode is about giving ourselves permission to feel all of it—the grief, the anger, the frustration—and still know we're healing.
🧘♀️ Let this be your reminder that honouring your whole emotional experience is not weakness—it’s the bravest thing you can do.
