Ever had a manager who responds to every problem with "Just think positive!" or "Don't worry about it"? What might seem like cheerful leadership can actually be toxic positivity in disguise—and it's causing real damage in workplaces everywhere.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr Liv and Dr Emma dive deep into a listener's struggle with a company leader who consistently shuts down discussions about workplace issues.

While well-intentioned, this avoidance of negativity leaves team members feeling dismissed and problems festering below the surface.

We unpack why this approach is actually dangerous—setting bad precedents, eroding trust, and preventing both individual growth and organisational improvement.
