Hey, Friend!Is there a bigger red flag that someone is not ok than when you ask, “How are you?” and they reply, “Fine.” Think about it.

But when you are not doing well and you do not want to talk about it, the most common response as we attempt to mask our feelings is, “I’m fine.” There are acronyms for F.I.N.E. such as: Freaked out, Insecure,

2025/06/18

Hey, Friend!I think we all understand the importance of having a positive attitude. However, in 2005, the term “toxic positivity” was coined to describe someone who has an unrealistic optimism that discounts the presence or importance of emotions. In today’s episode, I contrast having a positive attitude with toxic positivity and it all boils down to how we acknowledge, validate, and own our emotions and the emotions of others.

Friends,In today’s episode, I share my motto for adaptability: Make a plan. Work the plan. Don’t fall in love with the plan. I confess, I was not at all adaptable for the first 19 years of my life.
