Ep.6: Five Lessons I Learned From My Dad | Happy Father's Day by Chelsea Akibo-Betts

On this podcast, we discuss the topic that’s never really talked about- moving out when home gets toxic. We discuss what toxic environments may look like and the impact on your mental health in the long run. People sometimes get happy about moving out of their parent’s homes (as we discussed in the last podcast episode. But what happens when you’ve had one red flag too many and it becomes imperative that you create a game plan and move out (hopefully for good). Join KP and Kibo as we discuss our personal stories and first-hand experience with this sensitive matter.
