"We cannot selectively numb our emotions. When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions." -Dr. Brene Brown

They also share some of the differences between being hopeful and optimistic and forcing positivity onto others or oneself. The Warriors talk about how they practice avoiding toxic positivity and offer ideas on how to show up authentically but with compassion, empathy and vulnerability.
