Mini Episode - What Is Toxic Positivity?

In this short podcast episode, Victoria explains Toxic Positivity.

Toxic Positivity is a way we try to stay upbeat. However, toxic positivity can lead to losing empathy instead of actually helping someone feel better.

In this episode, Victoria provides examples of toxic positivity as as well as an alternative way to connect with others and ourselves.

Try validation and reassurance instead.

Here are a few examples of that:
"You can do hard things, and I believe in you."
"There is a lot than can go wrong; but what could go right?"
