Episode Description from the Publisher

This week’s mantra is I Let Myself Feel Disappointed. Not everything needs a silver lining, and not every moment needs to be spun into a lesson. This episode explores the harm of toxic positivity and the importance of making space for real, raw emotions, especially the ones we’re taught to skip over. Letting yourself feel disappointed doesn’t make you ungrateful or negative. It makes you honest. This mantra is an invitation to stop forcing a smile and start honoring what’s true, because healing begins when you allow yourself to feel it all.Mantra is an OpenMind Original Podcast, powered by PAVE Studios.
