Episode description

The wellness world is saturated with positivity. From "good vibes only" to "everything happens for a reason," we're taught to embrace the positive feelings at whatever cost. Radically honest psychotherapist Whitney Goodman (aka @sitwithwhit) says that's a miserable, inauthentic way to live.


Get ready for some powerful advice on how to make space for emotions—especially the difficult ones. Her actionable insight may make you uncomfortable, but learning to accept and work through negative emotions with her science-backed strategies will change you.


LISTEN TO THIS SHOW FOR THE SAME REASONS YOU SHOULD PICK UP HER NEW BOOK Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy:


  • You have been impacted by toxic positivity and are sick of it. 
  • You don’t know what toxic positivity is, but you’re intrigued.
