Episode Synopsis
Episode 095: “The Bright Side Has Clouds Too”
We often think of “happy” people as immune to bad days — or that those who struggle with sadness or stress can’t genuinely embrace positivity. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore why both ideas miss the mark. True happiness isn’t about constant positivity; it’s about balance — the ability to hold space for hard emotions and good ones without falling into toxic positivity or hopeless pessimism. With insights from psychology and neuroscience, they unpack how resilient people manage emotional ups and downs, what happiness actually means in research terms, and how to cultivate emotional flexibility in daily life.
