The Backlash Against Toxic Positivity

We have been lied to.
“Good vibes only” is not a lifestyle, it is emotional censorship dressed up in pastel colors and Instagram quotes. It tells you that if you are sad, angry, scared, or grieving, the problem isn’t the pain itself, it is you for not smiling through it.

That kind of garbage doesn’t heal you. It isolates you. It leaves you stuck in a cage built out of fake smiles and forced gratitude.

Real empowerment starts when we stop bullshitting ourselves. When we tell the truth about how damn hard life can be sometimes. When we give ourselves permission to sit in the mess without reaching for some bumper sticker wisdom to slap over it.

This is your Empowerment Moment™.
Clarity: You are not broken because you feel pain.
Confidence: You do not need to perform happiness to deserve love.
Control: You get to own your full emotional truth without apology.

You are not here to be a cartoon character in someone else’s fantasy of positivity. You are a living, breathing, feeling human being. And that, my friend, is more powerful than any “good vibes only” bullshit the world tries to sell you.

Energy Vampires Are The Real Monsters in Your Life

The Real Vampires Are Among Us, Energy Vampires!

(And I’ve Been Saying It for Years) Alright, time for some real talk. I’ve been telling people for years that vampires are very real. Not the ones in those cheesy horror flicks with capes and bad accents, but the kind that you’re surrounded by every damn day. These are the ones sucking the life out of you without ever leaving a single mark on your skin. Energy vampires. They don’t care about your blood, they want something way more valuable: your time, your focus, and your emotional energy.

I love Halloween. Always have, always will. It’s my favorite holiday season because, seriously, who doesn’t love a good scare? But here’s the kicker. While everyone’s out there dressing up as fake vampires, the real monsters are already wreaking havoc on your life. They’re sitting across from you at the dinner table, blowing up your phone with their latest drama, or worse, laying right next to you in bed, sucking away at your energy like it’s an all-you-can-drain buffet.

These vampires don’t need fangs or fancy capes. They’ve got something better: manipulation, guilt trips, and a knack for turning every conversation into an emotional black hole. Garlic? Not gonna cut it. Wooden stakes? Useless. You can’t ward these ones off with folklore. They thrive on your exhaustion, your attention, and your empathy.

Before you even know what hit you, they’ve drained you dry, leaving you feeling like a zombie. Meanwhile, they walk away recharged, ready to find their next victim. So, buckle up because we’re about to dig deep into what an energy vampire really is, how to spot them before they suck you dry, and how to build some serious defenses. You ready? Let’s get to it. It’s time to take back your energy and stake these emotional parasites for good.

What is an Energy Vampire?

Energy vampires are those delightful people who seem to feed on the emotional energy of others, leaving you feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus after every interaction. These folks don’t just thrive on drama, they live for it. They demand constant attention, lo…
