Off The Gram

The wellness world is saturated with positivity. From "good vibes only" to "everything happens for a reason," we're taught to embrace the positive feelings at whatever cost. Radically honest psychotherapist Whitney Goodman (aka @sitwithwhit) says that's a miserable, inauthentic way to live.

Get ready for some powerful advice on how to make space for emotions—especially the difficult ones. Her actionable insight may make you uncomfortable, but learning to accept and work through negative emotions with her science-backed strategies will change you.

LISTEN TO THIS SHOW FOR THE SAME REASONS YOU SHOULD PICK UP HER NEW BOOK Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy:

• You have been impacted by toxic positivity and are sick of it.
• You don’t know what toxic positivity is, but you’re intrigued.
• You have no idea how positivity could possibly be toxic, and you’re ready to cry blasphemy.

As I'm coming off a sugar-filled summer (lots of wine! all the ice cream!) and feeling like I need a reset, I'll be busting out @michprom book Sugar Free 3 and relistening to this episode. On the show we talk about her revolutionary plan which is based on the latest research and science. It's not a diet. It's not a detox. It's not a cleanse. It’s a genius three-week program to reset your entire approach to food and eating for improved wellness, more energy, sounder sleep, better-looking skin, and healthy weight loss—without counting calories. Who doesn't need that after hot girl summer?!

I've known the fellow Jersey girl for nearly 30 years and she is aging in reverse. If getting "sugar smart" has that Peter Pan effect, sign me up! Michele has spent the last decade at the forefront of the newest research about how sugar and artificial sweeteners affect your mind and body. (She was the award-winning editor-in-chief of Women's Health and Cosmo and now the Editorial-Director-at-Large for @thewell.) What she discovered was that added sweeteners are at the center of every major and minor health crisis, from the ones you'd guess—like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes—to the ones that might surprise you, like acne, bad moods, digestion, and sleep loss. Listen in to explore why sugar makes you gain weight (and get sick), where it’s lurking, and how to live happier and healthier without it.
