In this insightful episode, host Tsitsi Mutiti is joined by Transformation, Leadership & Culture Expert Sandra Addae to unpack the hidden dangers of toxic positivity—the pressure to always appear happy and optimistic, even in difficult times. Together, they explore how this mindset negatively affects mental health, financial wellbeing, and authentic personal growth.
From self-gaslighting and social media influence to the pressure of societal expectations, Tsitsi and Sandra delve into how toxic positivity shows up in everyday life. They offer practical strategies for embracing self-awareness, fostering solitude, and making strategic financial decisions rooted in reality, not denial.
