  • Summary

  • Miriam Rachel, host of The Expressive Mom Show, is a Canadian mother, author, and astrologer who has worn many hats throughout her journey, including SEO consultant and psychic medium. In this episode, she tackles the often-overlooked issue of toxic positivity, highlighting its harmful effects on emotional well-being.

    Toxic positivity arises when genuine emotions are suppressed in favor of relentless optimism. This leads to emotional repression, invalidation of real struggles, and pressure to maintain a facade of happiness.

    Miriam shares examples of common toxic positive statements that, though well-intentioned, can undermine emotional health by oversimplifying complex situations and dismissing the need for authentic emotional expression.

    She emphasizes the importance of embracing the full range of human emotions and creating an empathetic environment where people feel supported in their struggles.

    Next week, she will discuss the dangers of pressuring abuse victims to forgive their abusers, further exploring how toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing can harm those in need of genuine healing.
