EP157: Why ‘Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy’ Culture Contributes to Estrangement - The Cost of Chasing Only the Light
In this conversation, Kreed explores the pervasive culture of toxic positivity and its impact on family relationships, particularly estrangement. She discusses how the societal obsession with happiness can lead to the invalidation of genuine emotions, creating a disconnect between parents and adult children. Kreed emphasizes the importance of facing discomfort and embracing the 'ick' in relationships to foster healing and deeper connections and provides insights on reframing perspectives, accountability, and the necessity of open communication to navigate emotional challenges within families. www.TheEstrangedHeart.com Email Kreed: TheEstrangedHeart@gmail.com Leave a voicemail for Kreed: https://www.theestrangedheart.com/voicemail/ Coaching with Kreed: https://TheEstrangedHeart-scheduler.as.me/COACHING Facebook Support Group for Estranged Moms: facilitated by Kreed - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroup To support the podcast and Kreed’s work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere (one time donation)
