Description

How many times did your mother tell you not to swim for half an hour after you eat or not to scratch a bug bite or don’t touch someone who has poison ivy because you can catch it? There is a lot of that summertime advice flying around. This episode begins by looking at whether this advice is true or not. https://www.silive.com/healthfit/2012/07/summer_myths_debunked.html
There is something called toxic positivity. It is the idea that we should always look on the bright side, be happy, everything happens for a reason, don’t worry, you’ll be fine – you know what I mean. Often we say these things to comfort people but it may have the opposite effect. Joining me to discuss toxic positivity and the damage it can do is Whitney Goodman a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed With Being Happy (https://amzn.to/3cwrhcf).

Listen as she reveals what to do to stay young for as long as possible.
