Welcome to today’s episode where I’m tackling the biggest myth in the wellness industry: the idea that you can "just think positive" and bam—instant peace and perfect health! It’s not that simple, and in fact, that kind of toxic positivity is doing more harm than good. I’m starting off by discussing why honesty with yourself is the real secret to inner peace (sorry, but "good vibes only" just doesn’t cut it). And because we all know the wellness world loves a good "quick fix," we’ll also dive into how we can kick the pressure to be "always happy" to the curb, especially when living with chronic illness. Plus, stick around for a guided visualization exercise to help you discover a more peaceful, real version of yourself.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What peace really is and why it’s so important for navigating chronic illness
• The lie that is toxic positivity and how it throws us out of alignment
• A visualization exercise to define what peace is for you
