Have you ever had to deal with a toxic relationship?

I certainly have and in this episode I am sharing some of my own realisations… (more complete eureka moments) as I worked my way through solving how to break the ugly pattern I was in.

Life is too short to have toxic people taking up your thinking and emotional space…

And the only person who can break that cycle is you.

So let’s talk about how to do it in today’s episode!

Today I am sharing:

The obvious signs you are in a toxic situation
Thoughts on the difference between work and personal toxic relationships – and how to manage them better
4 different ‘difficult people types’ – what to look out for
Tips to challenge (and hopefully break) negative cycles you don’t want to be in any more

Let’s get into it – have a notepad handy!

Hopefully I shared a few practical nuggets on today’s episode.

Here’s something that stood out for me:

“The big trap is judging others on your own values, rather than on theirs. As long as you judge their behaviours against your own values, you stand a good chance of being disappointed.” (Rebecca Allen, ‘Her Ambitious Career’ Podcast)
