About this episode

The episode explores the nature of toxic relationships and how to recognize and address them.

In today’s episode we explore toxic relationships. We’ve all had them whether they are with partners, friends, social media, food, substances, or even our government. We seek to understand the hallmarks of them, what to do about it once you see the truth, why we get in them in the first place, and the parts of self we need to own that might be attracting in such relationships. We talk about: Toxic behaviors and the signs that we are definitely caught in a toxic relationship. Why we are drawn to them, and why they are so confusing. Do we break up or let it fade away? The work we may need to do to understand the patterns that allow such toxicity into our life. Dr Clarissa Pinkola Este’s take on how to fend off toxic ideas, people and groups using the symbolism of the butterfly.
