Are you constantly tired after certain interactions? Feel like someone in your life never apologizes or always turns things around on you? In this first episode of a powerful two-part series, Shola Richards breaks down the first three warning signs of a toxic relationship, and what you can do to protect your peace without losing your compassion.

 

Through real stories, honest reflection, and practical strategies, Shola explores:

❌ The truth about “energy vampires” and why some relationships leave you emotionally exhausted.

🔎 How to spot people who never apologize or take responsibility, and what that reveals about their character.

☁️ Why chronic negativity is so dangerous (and how to stop being pulled into someone else’s storm).

 

You’ll also learn three self-awareness tools:

• The Energy Audit
• The Accountability Assessment
• The Solution Rejection Test 

These tools will help you identify patterns and take your power back.

 

This episode isn’t about judging others; it’s about choosing peace, honesty, and self-respect. Tune in to start detoxifying your relationships and discover why kindness requires strong boundaries.
