If anyone who tells you to just think positive and to ignore any other emotions or things that are coming up - RUN!!!!! 


In this episode I’m sharing why just think positive is a bullshit narrative and how to determine if you do in fact need to shift your perspective to thinking positive, or whether there’s deeper work to be done. 


Here are 3 questions to help you determine the right step path? 

  • Is there something I am avoiding by thinking positive? 
  • Would thinking positive dismiss something that requires me to spend time and attention working through? 
  • Am I dwelling on something unnecessarily and I need to shift my mindset to feel better?
