Toxic Positivity

In this episode I talk about something I rarely say out loud , walking into family gatherings and leaving with someone else's stress sitting in my body. I call it the empathy trap. I listen, I absorb, I feel like it's my job to fix the room, and then I spend days processing a conversation that wasn't even mine. This one is about toxic positivity, why I dread the phone when family calls, and the worldview shift I need so I can care without carrying it all. Key points discussed: 1. Why we become a shock absorber at family gatherings and how that turns into anger, fixing, and days of leftover emotion 2. The difference between noticing negativity and making it my identity (or refusing to hear it at all) 3. Why adults get to be tense without me treating them like children I have to soothe Find Us George Helou: https://ep7.com.au/george-helou/ Azlan Ang: https://www.instagram.com/therealazlans #ReinventYouShow #lifecoach #lifecoaching #personaldevelopment #selfcare #motivationalquotes #mentalhealth #reinventyourself #selfgrowth #transformation #azlanpodcast #georgepodcast
