EP9: Overcoming Toxic Relationships w/ Dr. Stephanie Sarkis


A toxic relationship is one that makes you feel unsupported, misunderstood, demeaned, or attacked. On a basic level, any relationship that makes you feel worse rather than better can become toxic over time. Toxic relationships can exist in just about any context, from the playground to the boardroom to the bedroom.


This serious topic deserved some more insight from a real seasoned pro. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Sarkis and boy did she ever cover this topic well. We discuss what toxic relationships look like, how you may notice the signs, and most importantly, how you heal and recover.
