We’ve all dealt with toxic people.

The narcissists. The manipulators. The gaslighters. The ones who drain your energy and leave you questioning everything.

So we do what we’ve been taught: Set boundaries. Cut them off. Stay away.

Because toxic people never change, right?

But what if we’ve been thinking about this all wrong?

What if the real issue isn’t about who’s toxic—but rather the dynamic you have with them?

Think about it like this: Every relationship has an expiration date. And when you keep engaging past that expiration date, things start to go sour.

You feel drained. Annoyed. Resentful. Not because they’re toxic—but because you didn’t respect your limit.

In today’s Spiritual Perspective, I’m offering a completely different way to think about so-called toxic people and why protecting your peace isn’t about changing them, but about recognizing when the connection has expired.

If you’ve ever struggled with difficult people in your life, this episode is for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
