Listen "The Dark Side of Positivity"
Episode Synopsis
Positivity is Great Until it's Poison: In this episode of Unholy Health, we take a scalpel to the glossy facade of toxic positivity, that cult-like demand to "stay positive" no matter what. From New Year's resolutions to wellness influencers peddling overpriced journals and dreams, we dissect how positivity—when forced—becomes a gaslighty prison. Real human emotions like fear, sadness, and anger? They're the unsung heroes keeping us alive. Ignoring them? That's how you spiral into an artificial high with a crash landing that hits harder than reality TV finales. Positivity can't be force-fed; it's an outcome, not an action plan. The Darkness We Need to Thrive: This isn't a gloomfest; it's a case for balance. Negative emotions drive the best art, the boldest choices, and the grit to keep going when the world doesn't care. Happiness gurus might sell shortcuts to inner peace, but the truth is, life's a grind—and sometimes you do the work and still don't get the gold star. The takeaway? Drop the toxic positivity and embrace the chaos, because you don't get light without shadow. Bad shit happens, and it's not your fault, but pretending it doesn't only makes it worse.
