I used to think toxic relationships were abusive or volatile. But as you’ll learn in this episode, toxic relationships can be more subtle than that.
Listen in as Carla Romo share how to handle and grow from relationships that no longer serve you. How to create healthy, interdependent relationships. How to move away from codependency and find self love and cultivate healthier connections.
A healthy relationship conversation is incomplete without discussing how to set and hold healthy boundaries, recognizing your personal needs, and looking at your part in a multi-person relationship.
