Toxic Positivity

There are some sayings that may be meant well but are actually just TOXIC.

Everything happens for a reason? Hmmmm, tell that to someone who living in a war zone, or is chronically ill or experiencing any number of traumas or tough times.. You may learn things from situations, but not everything has a teachable moment.

Take a jaunt through toxic positivity with Abigail & Megan as they visit Voltaire, social media, grief etc and learn why it's such a dick thing to say 'Everything Happens for a Reason'
