Episode description

What is Toxic Positivity? One definition commonly used is toxic positivity as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations.

It's an interesting topic we wanted to discuss because today there is a lot of success grifters, prosperity preachers, and other forms of ignoring reality for a false positive view.
