In this episode, I delve into the challenging yet empowering topic of cutting ties with toxic friendships. Join me as I share my personal story of severing a long-standing connection with a friend I had known since childhood—a decision that forced me to confront my own values and boundaries. 

Throughout the episode, I’ll provide thought-provoking questions for anyone grappling with the difficult decision of whether to let go of a friendship that no longer serves them. Can you recognize the difference between genuine support and harmful attachment?

But that's not all! Later in the episode, we'll hear powerful stories from others who have faced similar choices. These testimonies highlight the universal struggle of navigating toxic relationships and the liberating feeling that comes with prioritizing your well-being.

Tune in for an honest discussion that might just encourage you to reflect on the friendships in your own life and inspire you to make choices that align with your happiness and peace of mind.
