Emotional vampires! We can all relate, right? I am chatting with someone who has been through it and helped people all over the country to navigate relationships (and ending them!) with people who drain our energy, suck us dry, take too much, and even ruin our lives. 

(Forgive me for being dramatic but it’s true!) 

Coach Daniel Ratner and I discuss: 

-Our experiences with emotional vampires

-Five different types 

-Taking a friend audit
