from The Authenticity Coach · host Wendy C. Schult
Being positive is great. But it is more important to be genuine than to be positive.

Become able to recognize toxic positivity & see how it serves to perpetuate undesirable situations. Learn the 3 steps of breaking free of false optimism: acknowledge, articulate & act. Stop silencing the truth about what does not feel good. Shift from the pain of forcing faux joy to the well-being of forging true happiness.
