We all need a support system, those trusted friends who stand by us through thick and thin, bringing positivity and joy to our lives. But there's a delicate balance between fostering a positive outlook and acknowledging our real emotions.

Join Lu Ngo on the latest episode of Sero Boost: The Happiness Science Insights Podcast as she chats with Emily P.G. Erickson, a freelance writer specializing in topics which benefit a wide-range of different audiences. Emily understands scientific thinking and methods because of her work as a researcher for a cognitive linguistics lab, a wildlife survey project in Madagascar, and a group studying PTSD at the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Tune in to discover real-life examples of toxic positivity and explore the art of maintaining genuine positivity while respecting our emotions. Emily also shares valuable insights on nurturing optimism in children while allowing them to embrace their feelings. It's a friendly chat you won't want to miss!
