65: The Authentic Mindset: Why Forced Positivity Isn’t the Answer
Apr 17, 2025 Episode 65
Teisha Rose

Have you ever felt like being positive just isn’t enough? 

 
Maybe someone told you to “just stay positive” at a time when life felt anything but okay. 

In this episode of Wellbeing Interrupted, I’m opening up about the pressure to perform positivity—especially when living with a chronic illness—and why authenticity is far more healing than forcing a smile.
