Episode notes
Toxicity Is A Relational Dynamic
- Toxicity often arises from the interaction between people, not from one person being inherently bad.
- Weak and strong boundaries or mismatched needs create recurring friction that becomes labeled as toxicity.
Relationships Have Expiration Dates
- Every relationship has a natural expiration date and can stop feeling aligned over time.
- Continuing to engage past that expiration causes resentment and the appearance of toxicity.

- Identify how long you can be around someone before you hit your limit and honor that boundary.
- Adjust engagement and protect your peace instead of trying to change the other person.
