Your boss just dropped three more projects on your already overflowing desk. When you express concern, you're told to "just be grateful for the opportunity."

Your to-do list would take 42 hours to complete, but you only have 20 hours available this week. A productivity guru tells you "you can do anything if you just stay positive" and that positive thinking will make everything magically fall into place.

You're drowning in overwhelm, but everyone around you keeps saying you just need to "choose joy" and "focus on abundance."

This isn't a mindset problem. It's a math problem. And toxic positivity in productivity culture is gaslighting you into thinking you're failing when the real issue is that you've been handed an impossible equation to solve.

In this episode, I'll cover:

3 toxic positivity messages keeping you stuck and the harm it causes
What realistic optimism actually looks like
The difference between being realistic versus making excuses
3 self-check questions to spot when you're caught in toxic positivity thinking
Why setting boundaries based on reality isn't negative, it's honest
