Shownotes

Today on Calmer Conversations, I want to talk about the difference between intentional thought work and toxic positivity. Sometimes when people find out about this work or sometimes when I get questions about it, they think that coaching or they think mindset work is really about only using positive affirmations or always keeping a positive mindset and I don't think that could be further from the truth. In reality, when I think about this work, I really think about how it's an embracing of all of your humanity and all of the thoughts you have, all of the emotions you have, and the entire human experience. But I understand why it can come across the other way and why people can even use this work as a new form of perfectionism or a new thing to do right. They can start feeling really bad if they do have negative thoughts – so that's what we're gonna talk about today, moving from toxic positivity and embracing all of your humanity to create lasting change. If that sounds like something you're interested in, this episode is definitely for you!
