When the Affirmations aren’t affirming

In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the concept of affirmations and how they may not always have the desired effect.

I also introduce the idea of toxic positivity, which involves ignoring or denying negative emotions and the role of affirmations in improving self-esteem and transforming negative thoughts.
