#252 - Paige's Perspective: When “Just Stay Positive” Stops Working
Description

In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, I’m breaking down the difference between toxic positivity and the power of pivoting.
We’ll talk about how social media, family, and even traditional recovery spaces sometimes weaponize positivity to silence your pain, and how serenity has been mistaken for emotional shutdown.
Then we’ll reframe it. Pivoting is about being honest and grounded — holding two truths at once: “This is hard, and I can handle it.”
You’ll hear real-life examples of what pivoting looks like in the moment, and I’ll give you a challenge to practice it this week.
This one’s for anyone who’s tired of pretending they’re okay and ready to learn what real peace actually feels like.
