Navigating relationships can be challenging, especially when it comes with dancing around hurtful behavior from other people. In this week’s episode, we talk about what to do when someone suggests that you be the “bigger person” when someone has hurt you, why they might be suggesting that you overlook the bad behavior in the first place, and exploring the difficult decisions and emotional labor involved in going no contact with someone — and managing the fallout that can impact the other relationships in your life.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Setting boundaries in relationships
• Recognizing toxic behavior and its impact
• The importance of self-care and mental health
• The tough choices that come with going no contact
• Misconceptions around what it means to be the bigger person
• Societal pressures influencing our decisions to maintain peace at the expense of our well-being
• The importance of prioritizing our mental and emotional health
• The courage it takes to walk away from toxic relationships
• Practical advice on handling difficult conversations
• The emotional aftermath of ending harmful relationships

Whether you're struggling with a toxic family member, friend, or partner, this episode offers some valuable perspectives and actionable steps to help you navigate these challenging situations. Don't miss out on this empowering conversation about relationship advice, self-care, and mental health.
