45. Do We Need to Be Happy All the Time? Letting Go of Toxic Positivity.

Do you ever feel pressured to be happy all the time? In this solo episode, Ruthie explores the truth behind toxic positivity and the myth that we should always feel "good". She unpacks why constant happiness isn’t realistic, what emotional sovereignty really means, and how embracing your full emotional range can lead to a deeper, more meaningful life.

When you stop chasing happiness and start allowing yourself to feel everything, you become more grounded, compassionate, and resilient.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to recognise patterns of toxic positivity in yourself or others
• Why happiness is fleeting and meaning is more sustainable
• How to honour your full emotional range without judgement
• Simple ways to build emotional resilience and self-acceptance
