How to Speak Up, Leave the Toxic Relatio...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Welcome back to part 2 of this aaaaamazing conversation with my homie Najwa Zebian, the QUEEN of healing and embracing change.

And if you thought part 1 of this convo was powerful, get ready cause we’re going even deeper into understanding WHY choosing to leave a toxic guy is SO CHALLENGING and HOW you can stop waiting for someone to save you and CHOOSE YOURSELF instead.

We’re also talking about: 

  • - Why you MUST resolve childhood traumas to get out of survival mode & start living an authentic life
  • - The difference between dirty pain & clean pain 
  • - Why you SHOULD take things personally & how it’s different from blaming yourself
  • - And why you should NEVER negotiate your change with people who want you to stay the same.


Najwa doesn’t hold back in sharing everything you need to know to live the life you want and make the little girl inside you feel SOOO safe and proud!!

Don't miss out on the final part of this episode with Najwa Zebian.
