A toxic friendship is where one or both people engage in behaviours that are harmful, draining, or detrimental to the well-being of the other person. It is characterised by a pattern of negativity, manipulation, disrespect, and imbalance in the dynamic between friends. What does it mean to have a toxic friend in your life? How does it impact your day to day, your mental health and inner peace? This week Sam and Lorene explore the toxic friends they've had in their life and how they have let them go. They also discuss the signs to look out for if you feel you're in a situation similar.
