Summary

A toxic relationship is one where at least one person is hurtful to another when there is supposed to be love, kindness, respect, and support.

I do my best to help her do that in this episode. We talk about that and more so I hope you get a chance to listen to the whole thing.

1:14.0	and well-being. Today, I am going to hopefully answer the question, why can't I get them out of my
