What is a toxic friendship?

We all have toxic friends.

This episode features a candid conversation (hence the trigger warnings above) with Janeen Ellsworth, host of Woman Friends Podcast.

Janeen Ellsworth is also a copywriter, and Human Design reader!
She lives in Pittsburgh, Pa, with her husband, two kids, and her Transylvanian hound.

Assessing your relationships is a healthy thing to do.

There are some relationships, like family relationships, that we keep in our lives. What about friendships?

Healthy, balanced social relationships are part of overall health.

Social inclusion (and non-discrimination) is one of the Social Determinants of Health.

This includes relationships.

Our friend relationships are one of the most important parts of our life! Would you agree?

Any friendship can be toxic, and tricky.

This episode will help you decide:

• if you have toxic friends.

• are YOU a toxic friend?

• where your toxic tendencies come from.

Janeen and I discuss our women friendships, and I reflect on my role as a friend in general.

I ask the question: Am I a Toxic Friend?

I open up about my own people pleasing tendencies, and their root in a dysfunctional mother link, that shapes the way that I am a friend.
