I’m so excited to have my girl, Najwa Zebian, back for another incredibly powerful conversation. Ladies! This episode is an urgent reminder to put yourself first, get control of your life and stop selling yourself short. This time Najwa is exposing the tricky and manipulative nature of toxic unhealthy relationships many of us unfortunately find ourselves in. Najwa is a bestselling author, activist, and an absolute wordsmith when it comes to putting words to the pain and experiences we share in being women.  As usual, she’s dropping gems and insights about manipulative tactics that trap us in unhealthy relationships and the upbringing that sets the stage for all the B.S. we spend years trying to escape. “Relationships with partners are the foundation for how we feel about ourselves.” -Najwa Zebian This two-part conversation gets juicy right from the start as we expose signs that you’re in a toxic relationship. What you sometimes believe to be normal, is actually a trap! So, in part one we’re diving into: *‘Good girl’ conditioning has betrayed you, it’s time to turn up the volume on your intuition and stop prioritizing everyone else over what’s best for you. *Pay attention to these signals to avoid manipulation that turns into a nightmare relationship. *This habit makes it easy for us to accept and excuse other people’s bad behavior, Najwa exposes that for you too so you can stop it immediately. Take this walk with us as we explore the tough journey away from the intoxicating highs of destructive relationships and get back to your most authentic self. We have a WARNING for you ladies: toxic people put up with your red flags, healthy people do not! (know your red flags ladies!)
