Ep.5 Toxic Positivity in Wellness: Clare Deacon’s Take on Real Healing
In this episode of Opinionated, I chat with Clare Deacon, trauma-informed positive psychology coach and founder of Happya™️. Clare shares her deeply personal journey from surviving trauma to thriving through post-traumatic growth. She offers a candid look at how the wellness industry has oversimplified self-care, turning it into a quick-fix solution rather than addressing the deep emotional and psychological work that true self-care requires.
Clare passionately discusses why the buzzwords "self-love" and "self-care" have become watered-down, consumer-friendly concepts and why we need to embrace the uncomfortable work for real healing.
We explore the four pillars of self-care—physical, emotional, social, and mental—and how taking care of ourselves is essential for growth and resilience. Clare also talks about how the wellness industry's focus on surface-level solutions like bubble baths and affirmations can leave people feeling even worse. In this episode, you'll learn why it’s essential to dig deeper, process emotions, and find strategies that truly support your well-being.
If you're tired of the "toxic positivity" in the wellness space and are ready for real change, this conversation is for you!
