When my mother died in 2019, we were estranged. I've always had a spiritual side and decided to book a session with a medium to connect with her. So when my estranged mother died in early 2019, it was only natural for me to explore an unconventional path: hiring a medium to reach out to her from the other side. She keeps saying 'mom,' 'mother,' 'mom,'" Balesky continued. I understand some people's skepticism about mediums, but it felt authentic, as if Balesky was genuinely connecting with my mom.

Glossing is a form of toxic positivity — in which people suppress and deny their negative emotions — and it could be holding you back. AdvertisementIt's not rocket scienceRinne said some signs of a glossing workforce are people not talking about tough issues at all or talking only behind their manager's back. If that's happening, leaders need to do some self-reflection, Rinne said, and ask themselves if they've been glossing. "You get more when people feel safe and feel engaged than if they're punching that clock and glossing for hours," Rinne said.
