In this episode of the Focused Mindset podcast, Cher Kretz discusses the concept of toxic positivity and how it can affect our emotions and conversations. Toxic positivity is the rejection of negative emotions and the constant focus on positive ones. Cher emphasizes the importance of honoring and validating all of our emotions, as they make up who we are. She explains that toxic positivity can damage relationships and lead to suppression of real emotions, which can manifest in other negative ways. Cher provides strategies for practicing empathy, validating emotions, and moving from problem-focused to solution-focused conversations.
