We live in a culture that worships positivity, where every setback is expected to come with a silver lining and every hardship must be spun into a motivational lesson. But beneath the surface of these constant affirmations lies an exhausting pressure to hide our true feelings. This episode explores how the demand to "stay positive" can become toxic, silencing our struggles and invalidating the very emotions that make us human.
Instead of rushing to reframe pain as progress, what if we allowed ourselves to sit with discomfort and be honest about our experiences? We’ll dive into why embracing the full range of emotions is not only healthier but necessary for real growth. Let’s strip away the false cheer and have a real conversation about the freedom that comes from feeling it all.
With love, Mafe
