Episode notes

"It could be worse." Ever been offended by a comment that wasn't actually trying to hurt you? Dawn breaks down why toxic positivity isn't really about the words said, it's about who's saying them and whether you let it in.

In Daily Dose 8, Dawn explains the real mechanism behind toxic positivity, why the same sentence lands completely differently from a friend versus a stranger, and the physical cost of sitting in offense (stress hormones, stalled healing). Getting on your own side means learning to regulate yourself instead of waiting for everyone else to say things perfectly. Part one of a two-part series, tomorrow covers the how.
