Episode description
Have you ever found yourself answering “I’m fine” when the exact opposite was true?
Toxic positivity, or what Martha and Ro call “happy-washing,” is the cultural pressure to force ourselves into a state of performative happiness.
In this episode of Bewildered, Martha and Ro explore what really happens when we stop happy-washing, let go of culture, and come back to our true nature to express the bad and the ugly as well as the good.
So listen in and get in touch with your inner complainer. It’s liberating!
