Do you feel the side-eye when you're telling your friends that something amazing has happened in your life? Do you have that one friend who's always saying negative things? Do you have friends that can't seem to ever be happy when you are?

You might have some haters or frenemies in your circle!

Many times, these people start off as our friends and then for whatever reason we drift apart and they become... well... not our friends!

But how do we deal with em?

First, we gotta identify them. The last thing we want is to think they're our real friends and expect them to actually be there- they won't because they're too busy hating on us!!!

Then we gotta deal with em by blocking all their negative energy, not engaging in their negativity, and focusing on our real friends. 

No more getting down on their level with the arguments, text-battles, or social media hate campaigns!

We done with that!

It will be challenging!

But it can be done. 

If you're ready to kick your frenemies to the curb, let's get into some real talk!

Your friend walks up to you and says, "I have something to tell you!" Just like that, you're a part of some juicy gossip. It's one of the most hurtful things that we do to another person and yet we can't seem to stop.

In this episode we first discover the difference between rumors and gossip. Rumors are pieces of information that have not been verified but are also not intended to hurt the target. Gossip, on the other hand, is scandalous unverified information that is meant to hurt the intended target. 

We also discuss the 3 main questions surrounding gossip. 

Why do people gossip anyway?
To feel better, be accepted, get attention, gain power, get revenge, and relieve boredom. 

How does gossip impact the target?
Loss in self-confidence, declining grades or work performance, poor relationships, drug and alcohol use, depression, suicide. 

How do you deal with gossip if you are the intended target?
Identify the source, avoid dwelling, talk about it with a trusted adult, do not retaliate, move forward, reduce the likelihood that it will happen again. 

Parenting Tip: Listen to your kids when they complain about "friends" being mean to them by providing them with the best advice for how to handle the situation without violence. Always remind them that its ok to walk away from people or situations that are unhealthy.

Many people who are codependent don't even know it. From day to day, they walk around in manipulative, abusive, and one-sided relationships and they don't realize that anything is wrong. Many of us have been conditioned for codependency from very young, and the cycle will never stop until we break it.

The steps for ending the cycle of broken and busted relationships are identifying codependency, symptoms of codependent behavior, and specific ways to heal.

If you're thinking... am I codependent?

Here are some questions to ask yourself...

Do you always find yourself in relationships where you give more than the other person?

Do you feel anxious about speaking your true feelings with "friends"?

Do you stay in relationships with people even after they do hurtful things over and over?

If the answer is YES, then this episode has some "light shining" moments just for you, my friend!

It's time to break those codependent chains that have held you in bondage to other people, and to find healing and happiness within yourself.
