Summary
You’ve heard of toxic masculinity and toxic positivity, but it might be toxic generosity that is spoiling your relationships and leaving you stressed.
Friend, this one is straight from my therapist’s office. We need to chat about what toxic generosity is and the steps to take to hold your boundaries.
The truth is, certain people will continue to take as long as you keep giving. There's a better way and I’m experiencing peace today because of the changes I’ve made to change my toxic generosity habits.
Come share your thoughts with me over on Threads or or slide into my DMs on Instagram. Thanks for being here today, friend!
