Summary

“You know energetically if someone is adding to or subtracting from you.” If you’ve never experienced or been a part of a toxic relationship, congratulations! You will still benefit from listening to this episode on The School of Greatness, however. For the rest of us, this conversation with Transformation Coach Chris Lee (back for the 5th time by popular demand!) is powerful. Take it from me: toxic relationships are not worth it, whether they are romantic, professional, family, friends, whatever. But it can be really really hard to end them if you don’t know how. That’s why Chris and I wanted to discuss this process on the podcast. In this 5 Minute Friday, he breaks down the first two steps, walks you through the how and why, and drops a lot of wisdom along the way. This process is powerful and can free you from relationships in your life that need to shift or go away.
