Here's why you need "toxic" people

Erika Cramer
About this episode

You know those people who just push your buttons?

Those situations that make you so angry and frustrated or leave you feeling hurt.

Your sibling who complains about everything  

Your arrogant co-worker or opinionated neighbour

Your controlling mother

The guy who cut you off on the way to work

We all get triggered. And let me tell you, friend... that is a GOOD thing.

This episode is all about why getting triggered is so important. It’s a sign that something within YOU needs to be dealt with. 

We think those things that trigger us are annoying problems that need to go away. 

But if you let them, all of those people and situations just help you go deeper into yourself and do the work and become a better person.

A more kind person

A more compassionate person

Someone who is patient and manages conflict well

If you have “toxic” people in your life, they are here to MAKE you, not break you.

In this episode, I talk about looking within to find the insecurity that’s causing you to get triggered, that it’s our choice if we allow people to offend us.

I talk about the role of our ego, taking responsibility and the massive opportunity you have when you start paying attention to what’s going on inside. 

Do you have “toxic” people in your life?

They’re actually helping you.
