Positivity isn't always strength. Sometimes, it's just fear in disguise.

Our culture pushes us to “stay positive” no matter what—smile through pain, repeat mantras, and avoid discomfort. But this forced optimism isn’t strength. It’s a mask. A way to escape reality, and that escape comes with a cost.

In this video, we break down why ignoring your true emotions weakens your nervous system and fragments your mind. Real emotional strength comes from feeling fully—the messy, brutal, beautiful truth of life, including grief, anger, and fear.

Learn why emotional granularity—the ability to name and integrate complex feelings—is the foundation for resilience and genuine courage.
