Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate

it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. Our guest for today's

episode is My Sweet Friend, Ainsley Britain. Ainsley is an author, a public speaker and

the director of the Unveiled Campaign, which is an amazing online community for young adults

that helps us break free of the lives we believe about ourselves. I'm so grateful to have

Ainsley here with us today. The truth is that today she's going to be sharing some pretty

in some pretty toxic relationships. She's going to share with us how she found herself

there, why she stayed for so long, and how she ended up finally getting out. I'm so grateful

that she's willing to share with us today because these conversations are so important.

I'd venture a guest that most of us have found ourselves in at least one unhealthy relationship

in our lives. Maybe it was a romantic relationship or a work relationship or a friend relationship.

And maybe it was the kind of relationship that wasn't the best where we really deserved

better, but we didn't fully realize it at the time. Or maybe the relationship was toxic

or dangerous or even abusive. We were running the gamut today friends and I'm so glad

that Ainsley's here to share her wisdom with us. Now before we jump in, I want to say

one thing. Guys, we're going to be talking about some pretty tough stuff in this episode,
