In this powerful episode of The Ex Files, Alex and Liza dive headfirst into the often-ignored emotional minefield of toxic positivity during separation and divorce. When everyone says “stay amicable” or “just be the bigger person,” what happens to the very real, very raw feelings of anger, grief, and betrayal? Together, they unpack how suppressing those emotions, especially under pressure from professionals, social media, or well-meaning friends, can actually make the legal and emotional journey harder. From parenting dynamics to courtroom behaviour, they explore why acknowledging your anger (and finding safe ways to express it) is not only okay, it’s vital. This is an honest, practical, and emotionally intelligent look at what happens when positivity goes too far.
