Why “Just Be Positive” Is Making Things Worse

from Possibilities with Hina Khan · host Hina Khan Worldwide Inc.

In this episode, Hina explores the subtle trap of toxic positivity and self-gaslighting—when mindset work turns into internal pressure instead of support. She unpacks how high performers often override their emotions in the name of strength, why judging yourself for feeling anything collapses capacity, and how real growth begins with honest self-leadership rather than forced positivity.
