S2 Ep 78: The Antidote to Toxic Positivity with Whitney Goodman (@sitwithwhit)

Sometimes, it's better to just listen and let your kid vent. Join me in conversation with psychotherapist Whitney Goodman, who you may know from the terrific Instagram page @sitwithwhit. She is the author of Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy. We discuss what toxic positivity is, how to listen and when to give advice, and we trade stories of some times we wish we could have acted differently.
