Episode Highlight: Why "Good Vibes Only" Isn't Always Good for You - Keshav Bhatt
Originally aired: February 2021 Episode Number: 73 Positivity can lift you up or quietly wear you down. In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, award-winning life coach, speaker, and content creator Keshav Bhatt explores the rise of toxic positivity and how well-intentioned self-help messages can sometimes cause more harm than healing. From hustle culture slogans to "good vibes only" mantras, he explains how the constant push to stay positive can silence genuine emotions and overlook the impact of environment, privilege, and social context. Through personal stories and cultural insights, he shows that real growth comes from balance—recognising both light and shadow, strength and struggle. Learn how to recognise when positivity turns harmful, set healthier boundaries with the messages you absorb, and build a mindset rooted in authenticity, awareness, and self-compassion.
