Ep. 5: Can Pessimism Be a Form of Self Compassion?

Our society loves us some toxic positivity doesn’t it?! Because of our culture that thrives on weaponizing gratitude and demean “negativity” we are often not taught how to sit with feelings like pessimism.People often find it odd of just how pessimistic I can be, especially as someone who instills hope in others for a living.
