Скачать или смотреть Cultivating Real Optimism, Not Toxic Positivity with Dr. Deepika Chopra

Today, I’m joined by the one and only Dr. Deepika Chopra — psychologist, scientist, and creator of the “Things Are Looking Up” optimism cards. We’re talking about what it actually means to be optimistic (spoiler: it’s not about being positive all the time), and how to build emotional resilience without bypassing the hard stuff. From redefining toxic positivity to managing motherhood, burnout, and healing in real-time, this episode is filled with science-backed tools, honest reflection, and real talk about living with intention, not perfection!

💬 In this episode:
– What optimism really is (and why it’s a muscle, not a personality trait)
– The difference between toxic positivity and grounded hope
– How to regulate your emotions when life feels overwhelming
– Small daily habits to rewire your brain toward joy
– Why emotional neutrality is underrated (and powerful)
– Finding meaning in chaos — from LA fires to life transitions
– Balancing identity, motherhood, and ambition without losing yourself
– The underrated magic of micro-moments, awe, and breathwork

✨ This one’s for my deep feelers, my recovering perfectionists, my moms, creators, and anyone learning how to stay soft in a sharp world!
