In episode one of the Hippie Sh!t podcast, we talk about toxic positivity vs. positive psychology and where toxic positivity goes wrong. We look at the key differences of each and how toxic positivity harms people. 

Toxic positivity is having a moment and has been called out a lot in the past year. Hustle culture, toxic productivity, gurus, all that - people are getting away from it. A lot of it seems to have something to do with the rise against MLMs (multi-level marketing companies like Herbalife). But I think now people are honestly swinging toward the other end of the spectrum and adopting pessimism as 'realism.' I think that's problematic for a number of reasons, both spiritually and on a psychological level. 

In today's episode, I want to address some key things to look out for when taking care of your mental health and adopting self-care practices and mindset exercises so that you can be sure you're protecting yourself, healing yourself, and really growing into the best version of yourself.
