The 3 Red Flags of Manipulation You Can’...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Najwa Zebian isn’t just a bestselling author, poet, and advocate for women finding their voice, she’s a woman with such power behind her words that she’s made an impact on millions of women around the world. 

One of the things I most admire about Najwa is how beautifully open and raw she is about her experiences being a woman. 

The second part of our conversation is about healing and the ability to get up and move away from the unhealthy toxic relationships we don’t necessarily see up close when we’re in it. We’re pulling back the curtain:

*Najwa shares steps you can start taking TODAY to get out of and heal from the toxic relationships holding you back

*Toxic people put up with your red flags, healthy people do not! (know your red flags ladies!)

*The thing you most want and need can make it easy for you to accept your partner’s bad behaviors

This episode is an urgent reminder to put yourself first, get control of your life and stop selling yourself short.

We’re exposing the manipulative nature of toxic unhealthy relationships many of us unfortunately find ourselves in, and taking notes of the amazing insights about manipulative unhealthy relationships and the upbringing that set many of us up for the B.S. we spend years trying to escape.

“Relationships with partners are the foundation for how we feel about ourselves.” -Najwa Zebian

Take this walk with us as we explore the tough journey away from the intoxicating highs of destructive relationships and get back to your most authentic self.
