In this episode of Unfiltered, we delve deep into the challenging but important topic of toxic relationships. We explore the signs that you might be in a toxic relationship, including constant criticism, emotional manipulation, controlling behavior, and a lack of support. Understanding the difference between a difficult relationship and an abusive one is key, as toxic relationships often involve patterns of power and control that can harm your emotional and mental well-being.

We also discuss the major red flags to watch out for when dating or starting a new relationship, such as isolation from friends and family, quick anger, and an unwillingness to compromise. These are the early warning signs that can help you protect yourself from deeper harm.

Additionally, we address the issue of codependency—a common dynamic in toxic relationships—and provide actionable advice on how to break free from this cycle. Learning to set healthy boundaries, prioritize self-care, and seek support are critical steps in reclaiming your sense of self and emotional health.

If you’re currently in a relationship that feels draining or unhealthy, or if you’re looking to understand how to recognize toxic behavior in the future, this episode is for you. Tune in for an empowering conversation on how to navigate toxic relationships and take the necessary steps toward healing and personal growth.
