“Good vibes only.” Sounds nice, right? But what happens when positivity is used to dismiss or shut down real feelings? That’s where it crosses into toxic positivity.

In this episode, we unpack what toxic positivity is, how to recognise it in everyday life, and why it can actually harm relationships, increase shame, and make people feel more isolated. From workplaces and friendships to family and social media, we’ll share common examples you’ve probably experienced yourself.

Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to move past surface-level “just stay positive” responses and create space for genuine emotions, empathy, and connection. Because real growth comes not from ignoring pain, but from honouring the full range of human feelings.

Have you ever walked into a room feeling fine, only to leave feeling stressed, drained, or tense — without knowing why? You might be experiencing emotional contagion.

In this episode, we unpack what emotional contagion is, why we sometimes carry other people’s burdens, and the everyday situations where it shows up — from the workplace to social media to our closest relationships.

We’ll share personal reflections, practical strategies, and ways to build emotional boundaries so you can stay grounded in your feelings, not someone else’s.

Because you can’t control someone else’s energy — but you can control what you absorb.
