"Just think positive!"...is something you will never hear us say! On this episode of Paved with Gold, Ash takes a swan dive into the world of toxic positivity, why it causes harm and how you can navigate your way through all the "good vibes only" platitudes.

Callie is (unfortunately for us!) unable to join this episode as she is off on parental leave, but we look forward to having her back on the pod soon.
