Have you ever wondered if you're in a toxic relationship but just can’t quite put your finger on what feels off? Maybe you’re questioning if it’s you or them.

Toxic relationships aren’t limited to romantic partners. These unhealthy dynamics can show up with friends, family, and even colleagues. You might not even realise how much they’re affecting your mental and emotional well-being until you know what to look for.

In this episode, we continue the conversation from Part 1, where I shared Jane’s story to show you firsthand how toxic relationships can play out. In this episode, we dive further into the behaviours that make these relationships so damaging—things like manipulation, control, and emotional abuse.

If you’ve ever felt drained or confused, this episode is packed with insights to help you spot the red flags and take back control.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, I highly recommend starting there so you can fully understand how these dynamics unfold.

Take a moment for yourself today and tune in. It might just be the clarity you’ve been looking for.

If after listening, you feel you need extra support, my team and I are always here to help you navigate these challenges. Feel free to book in a ​FREE 15 minute chat​ to discuss how we can support you.

Jane’s story is one I can’t keep to myself—it’s too important.

Jane walked into my office with a smile that hid the pain she had carried for years. On the surface, she seemed to have it all—young, intelligent, beautiful, and financially independent. But beneath that, she was grappling with a toxic relationship that drained her energy, poisoned her self-worth, and left her questioning her reality.

And Jane isn’t alone. I’ve seen more and more women, just like her, endure these same struggles. But let me be clear—this story isn’t just for women. Toxic relationships affect people of all genders—the pain, confusion, and damage that come with being in these kinds of toxic dynamics.

In this episode, I unpack what it means to be in a toxic relationship, how to recognise the signs, and most importantly, how to navigate your way through it. You’ll hear Jane’s story (shared with permission), shining a light on a new kind of toxicity that often hides in plain sight—relationships that might not involve physical violence but still take an immense toll.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Jane’s name has been changed—not because she’s hiding, but because she’s been silenced by the legal system. This story is her voice, and mine, speaking out for those who feel they’ve lost theirs.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating a relationship that’s tearing you apart instead of building you up, this episode is for you.
