S1E12: Saying No to Toxic Friendships

Mona-Vated
About this episode

We've all had that one friend who is just a little bit toxic. Maybe they try to control what you do? Or they're always calling to vent but never ask about you? Or, like in Chloe's case, maybe they expect you to pay their rent?! It's so true that a good -- or bad -- friendship can shape your life. Friends should be your safe place, and for Chloe and Mona, that is their story. On this week's episode they explore why their friendship works so well, why other friendships they've had fizzled and why they've had to just let go of some people who used to be in their inner circle.
