75. Toxic Positivity and What To Actually Say Instead

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you heard of the term toxic positivity? It’s becoming a bit of a buzzphrase, so I want to dive into this complicated topic.  I’m seeing it more and more on social media and hearing it in conversations with the dancers I work with. Sometimes is a great conversation, and other times there’s a lot of misinformation going around. I even recently asked my community on Instagram if they had experienced toxic positivity and 96% said yes. There is clearly an issue, and I think it’s time we talk about it. So in this episode, I explain what it is and what it isn’t, give you some common toxically positive phases to avoid, plus some better options of what to say instead.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">_________</span></p> <p><strong>Show Notes and Resources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://chelseapierotti.com/75"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://chelseapierotti.com/75</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">_________</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you enjoy today’s episode?
