Ever been told to "just stay positive" when something at work was clearly not okay? You're not being negative – that makes us want to pull our hair out, too. This week, Dee and Dr. DJ dig into toxic positivity in the workplace: what it actually is, why it's so hard to spot from the inside, and what it costs the people stuck performing okay-ness. Let’s get practical, with ways to set boundaries and put your well-being ahead of workplace expectations without burning out.
💬 Tell us in the comments: what's the most toxic-positive thing you've ever heard at work, and did you ever push back?

Your Brain on Doom Scrolling: The Neuroscience of Digital Addiction
Ever pick up your phone "for a second" and look up 45 minutes later feeling worse than when you started? You're not weak-willed — you're up against billion-dollar design. This week, Dee and Dr. DJ dig into the psychology and neuroscience of doom scrolling: why your brain keeps taking the bait, how social media platforms use operant conditioning to hook you, and what's actually happening in your limbic system every time you refresh the feed. They also get practical — real strategies for a digital detox, regulating the emotional spiral, and getting back into your body instead of your feed.
💬 Tell us in the comments: what's your worst doom scrolling trigger — and have you ever actually tried a digital detox that stuck?

Gaslighting, Narcissist, Triggered: Therapists React to Therapy-Speak 🚩
Everybody's ex is a "narcissist." Everybody's been "gaslit." Everyone's "so OCD." …are they, though? 🤔
Two licensed therapists put the internet's favorite therapy-speak on trial. Every term gets a verdict — misused, sometimes fair, or a full-on hard NO. 🚫
Dee (she/her) and Dr. DJ (they/them) — your new best friends who happen to be licensed counselors — break down what these words actually mean in the therapy room vs. what the internet has turned them into, why the difference matters, and yes… DJ confesses the intrusive thought they once had about their dog on a boat ramp. 🐶
Because when we water down words like "trauma" and "gaslighting," we make the real thing harder to name — and harder to get help for.💬 Which therapy word grinds YOUR gears — or which one are you secretly guilty of misusing? Drop it in the comments and we'll put it on trial next.
🔔 Like, subscribe, and share this with the friend who calls their ex a narcissist.
