What is toxic positivity?  And how can we encourage our kids to have a positive outlook on life without pushing a “good vibes only” message?

In today’s episode, we explore two things that optimism is not – toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing.  I teach how we can be intentional about ensuring that we’re not dismissing our children’s feelings or substituting our experiences for theirs.

I also coach you through 4 powerful questions we can ask ourselves to challenge our (sometimes pessimistic) paradigms and how our brain can be re-wired to see and experience all the good in this world.
