"When everything gets reframed, nothing gets felt." — Ethan King

In this eye-opening episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin unpack the uncomfortable truth behind a habit that’s praised in self-help circles but quietly sabotaging your growth: chronic reframing.

When every challenge is spun into a lesson, when every failure is dressed up in silver linings, you lose the ability to feel what’s real. That disconnect can kill your clarity, numb your leadership instincts, and break the trust of those around you.

This episode isn’t anti-positivity—it’s anti-bullsh*t. Because if you’re always trying to reframe the pain, you’re not processing it. You’re performing. And eventually, that catches up with you.

• How to recognize when positivity becomes emotional avoidance

• How to stop using optimism as a mask

• How to “sit in the mud” with yourself and others without sinking

• How to embrace a neutral mindset that drives real decisions

• How to build emotional depth as a leader and coach
