Ep 183 | Presidential Fitness Test Trauma | What is Toxic Positivity?

Today, I address two topics: First, the Presidential Fitness Test - America's cruelest rite of passage for Gen X kids. In this episode, we take a sweaty jog down memory lane, back when rope burns were character-building and failing a pull-up meant public shame. I'll also discuss something called toxic positivity - yes, apparently being too optimistic is a problem now. I break down the latest trend of demonizing encouragement, the obsession with victimhood, and why sometimes a good attitude is exactly what this country needs.
