Toxic relationships don’t always start that way. They often begin with connection, excitement, and promise—until unhealthy patterns emerge. But avoiding these relationships isn’t about avoiding people altogether; it’s about learning to recognize the dynamics that drain, harm, or diminish you. In this talk, we’ll break down how to identify red flags early, set firm boundaries, and cultivate relationships that are built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. You’ll learn why self-awareness is key, how your own responses shape your relationships, and what to do when someone refuses to meet you halfway. If you’ve ever felt like you had to prove your worth, suppress your needs, or constantly “fix” a relationship just to keep it together—this video is for you.
