Ever felt guilty for being sad or like you had to "stay positive" no matter what? 

You’re not alone. In this episode, we unpack the shadow side of the positivity culture, how it can create emotional suppression, spiritual bypassing, and a disconnect from real healing.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your pain was “low vibe” or felt pressure to perform your peace, this conversation will help you come home to something more honest, grounded, and real.
