## Resource

This week we're talking about toxic positivity, the people who think every problem can be solved with a positive attitude, a motivational quote, or a "good vibes only" mindset. From dismissing real struggles to turning every complaint into a life lesson, we're breaking down the behaviors that make people feel unheard, invalidated, and unable to vent in peace. If you've ever been told to "just stay positive" when you really just wanted someone to listen, this episode is for you!
