In this week’s episode, I chat with Claudia Aronowitz who recently wrote an article on LinkedIn about Toxic Positivity that got over 6000 views.  This topic is relevant and one that I felt was essential to bring to the forefront.   To help with showing up authentically on social media and to release the need to feel that when we share our story it has to always be positive.  Toxic positivity is defined as an obsession with positive thinking. It is the belief that people should put a positive spin on all experiences, even those that are profoundly tragic.  The impact of it is that it can invalidate one’s emotional state, it also increases secondary emotions: it may end up with feelings of being ashamed of being sad or embarrassed about being afraid or angry.Claudia Aronowitz is an accomplished personal development and relationship coach.  Claudia uses compassion, insight and straightforward communication to support her clients through change and transition.
