🎙️ Am I the Toxic One? | Surviving Toxic Relationships with Lizzie & Deana

Are you the toxic one... and don’t even know it?
In this eye-opening episode of Surviving Toxic Relationships, Lizzie and Deana turn the mirror inward to explore a question many avoid: Could we be contributing to the toxicity in our relationships?

Together, they unpack the subtle but critical differences between toxic behaviors and trauma responses, and how unresolved trauma might be driving harmful patterns. This isn’t about blame—it’s about self-awareness, accountability, and growth.

Through candid conversation and practical tools like journaling and self-assessment strategies, Lizzie and Deana guide you on how to:

  • Recognize toxic traits in yourself and others
  • Understand the root causes (like fear of abandonment)
  • Take actionable steps toward healing
  • Build support systems that uplift your journey
  • Stop repeating toxic cycles—and start rewriting your story

Whether you’ve asked yourself “Am I the toxic one?” or just want to create healthier relationships, this episode is your roadmap to transformation.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

  • Toxic behavior often stems from unhealed trauma
  • Self-reflection is essential for personal growth
  • Accountability is the first step toward lasting change
  • Support systems and journaling can accelerate healing
  • You can change—and the desire to do so is your greatest strength

👉 Hit play to reflect, reset, and rise above the toxicity—starting with you.
