86: Leaving Toxic Relationships

Acknowledging toxic relationships and when positivity becomes just as toxic. We discuss Simone Biles in the news and how removing herself from a toxic situation doesn’t make her a quitter, it makes her powerful and strong. Claire processes through vaccination progress (or lack thereof) frustrations, and we discuss our high school selves.

Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: And this is Joy and Claire. I’d like to do a quick plug before we even get started because I just had to grab some bites of Eat to Evolve before we started recording, and it’s delicious. I grabbed a Grab & Go.  Claire: I had the barbecue chicken salad. Joy: I had the, what is it a sweet potato? I don’t have the name in front of me. Claire: Like the sweet potato family salad or something like that. Joy: Yes, the sweet potato family style salad, and it’s delicious. I love it.

But I have really been interested in the fact that every interview that we’ve had lately has really come back to this theme of not ignoring the signals that your body is giving you. I feel like we talked about that with Laura Ligos. We definitely talked about that with Dr. Cook. We talked about that with Noel. Next in a couple weeks we are going to have an interview with Scout from Scout’s Agency. She talks about that. It’s just such a theme right now that I think people are really coming out of the past year out of touch with themselves and out of touch with what living in a non-super-stressed-out state even feels like.
