Ready for a real talk about relationships? Today, we're getting down to the nitty-gritty as we explore the 9 not-so-obvious signs of toxic relationships. We get it, the word 'toxic' might bring up images of major drama, but in reality, it's not always that in-your-face.

Think of this as a low-key guide to spotting the not-so-cool stuff that might be lurking beneath the surface of your relationships. No frills, no drama, just a straight-up chat between Louise & Dr. Tari Mack about the subtle signs that things might be a bit off-kilter.

The pair talk you through: 

The reality of gaslighting (so many people get this wrong)

One party always being the decision maker

The importance of having a voice in a relationship (and how easy it is to lose yours)

Believing you can't leave because the partner is dependent on you

Double standards in a relationship

Isolation from friends and family by the partner in any format

Unhealthy boundaries, including surveillance and lack of trust

ANY sort of criticism, belittling or manipulation

And a lot more.
