Well....we're definitely switching gears in today's episode. I know it's easy to forget that this podcast is also about bossing up in your relationships and self-development in addition to business because of the majority of business-based episodes, that's why it was time to bring out the big guns. And I gathered my ex-boyfriend to help me do that.
In today's episode we:
- relationship goals
- toxic traits
- long-distance relationships
- career balance
- childhood traumas
- and MORE!
The teacup is overflowing today, honey.

We're back with another episode of The Boujee Boss Up Podcast. Today we're talking all about something most of us have experienced but may not know how to label: toxic positivity. Too often I see people of influence taking advantage of their followers with this horrid concept, but that's all being put to rest right now!
Episode Notes
It's time to debunk this toxic positivity, Boujee Boss!
Many well known entrepreneurs or public figures tell people that they “don’t want it bad enough” when it comes to those people not buying their offers. And that's honestly a load of bull.
I share:
- The definition of toxic positivity
- How my MLM journey revealed this dirty side of business
- What genuine entrepreneurship looks like in these scenarios
Get ready to sip some tea!
