The power of walking away

Lyss Boss
About this episode

Why are we so afraid to walk away from a toxic relationship?

Sometimes we're afraid to leave relationships for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. Fear of being alone
  2. Fear of the unknown
  3. Fear of change
  4. Children and family obligations

And so much more. In this episode, I talk about the power of walking away from a relationship that isn't serving you, and some useful tips to navigate a breakup. As always, you can DM me on instagram @lyss or @dateyourselfinstead if you enjoyed this episode!
