This week we're talking about toxic positivity. You didn't know that positivity could be toxic did you? Neither did I until I learned all about it. I cover:

• Why thinking positive is so rarely the answer to finding inner peace and happiness
• The purpose of our feelings and how to understand them
• Why relying on "Good Vibes Only" is a surefire way to not be happy
• The real key to actual happiness

I've got us a brand new site where we can all convene - https://www.lumes.me. I'm beyond excited to bring this to you all especially because it's another way for us to make these themes we discuss so much more actionable. If you would like some help applying anything you've learned in the podcast to your own life or you're feeling stuck and don't know where to even begin, start here: https://www.lumes.me/coaching. You can also send me your dilemmas or any questions you're stuck on so we can address on a future episode! Can't wait to hear from you!
