The Happiness Trap – Why Chasing Joy Can Leave You Empty

Is your pursuit of happiness making you miserable?

In this refreshingly honest episode, Dr Munita and Shazia explore the myth of constant happiness - and why the pressure to "be positive" all the time might be doing more harm than good. From cultural messaging to social media’s obsession with perfection, we unpack how modern life fuels a deep sense of disconnection, discontent… and guilt for not being happy enough.

Expect real talk on emotional avoidance, the rise of toxic positivity, and why sadness, boredom, and even rage are not only valid - but necessary. We share personal stories, psychological insights, and soulful reframes to help you feel more at home with the full spectrum of your emotions.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be happy, but I’m not,” this one’s for you.
