BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

On today's episode I got the opportunity to interview expert Dr. Heidi Brocke who is a toxic relationship awareness and healing specialist. After spending a long time in a narcissistic and toxic relationship herself, she now coaches others in identifying their own toxic relationships and how to get out of them. On today's episode we talk about what a toxic relationship is, coming out of a toxic relationship, and what the difference is between abusive & toxic.
