S1: Ep. 6 - Toxic Positivity
from Unfiltered and Balanced Podcast Hosted by Elise Franchitto and Celine Grandioso
“Good vibes only.” Sounds nice, right? But what happens when positivity is used to dismiss or shut down real feelings? That’s where it crosses into toxic positivity. In this episode, we unpack what toxic positivity is, how to recognise it in everyday life, and why it can actually harm relationships, increase shame, and make people feel more isolated. From workplaces and friendships to family and social media, we’ll share common examples you’ve probably experienced yourself. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to move past surface-level “just stay positive” responses and create space for genuine emotions, empathy, and connection. Because real growth comes not from ignoring pain, but from honouring the full range of human feelings. Like, comment and follow for more episodes.
