Breaking Free from Toxic Relationships: My Journey to Healing
Hey friends! Thanks for tuning in, and if you’re new—welcome! My podcast is all about transforming every area of your life by sharing personal experiences and lessons that have helped me create a life I love.
In this episode, I open up about a difficult but necessary journey: closing my circle and stepping away from toxic relationships—even when it involved my own mother. Inspired by The Minimalists’ powerful quote, “You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you,” I share how I recognized unhealthy patterns and made the hard decision to distance myself from those who drained me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
For years, I struggled with feelings of self-doubt, wondering if I was the problem. But in 2016, everything changed. A book recommendation—You’re Not Crazy! It’s Your Mother! by Danu Morrigan—gave me the clarity I needed to begin healing. Through therapy, coaching, and deep self-reflection, I realized that some relationships, no matter how deeply rooted, can be toxic and damaging to our well-being.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggle with narcissistic family members, emotional abuse, or the guilt of setting boundaries with a toxic parent. If you’ve ever been made to feel like you’re the problem, you are not crazy! There is freedom and healing on the other side of this pain.
Join me as I share:
✅ The moment I realized I had to distance myself from my mother
✅ How toxic relationships impact mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being
✅ Why setting boundaries—even with family—is necessary for growth
✅ Lessons from Proverbs 13:20 on surrounding yourself with wise and supportive people
