Episode 76: Protecting Your Peace: Navigating Toxic Relationships and Healthy Boundaries
Peggy 
Episode Description:
This episode originally aired on YouTube.
Navigating relationships can sometimes feel like walking through a minefield, especially when you’re dealing with unhealthy dynamics. How do you protect your peace and healthy sense of self when others are quick to deflect blame? What does it really mean to set healthy boundaries?
In this episode, I talk about how to identify when you're unfairly carrying the weight of others' actions, and the importance of setting firm boundaries without feeling guilty. We'll explore the difference between taking responsibility for your own actions and not absorbing the negativity or blame from others.
Remember, you have the right to prioritize your peace. It's time to reclaim your power and ensure that you're not sacrificing your mental health for the sake of maintaining toxic relationships. Take a stand, set those boundaries, and let go of the guilt.

Episode Notes:
- People who hear things like "you're too sensitive" may internalize these comments, reinforcing feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt.
- As you start healing and setting boundaries, expect pushback, especially from those who aren't on the same journey. It’s a tough but crucial part of self-care.
- Consider the source of criticism carefully, particularly if the person tends to avoid responsibility or shows negative behavior patterns.
- Remember, it’s okay to distance yourself from harmful behavior, even if the person isn’t “bad.” Setting boundaries is essential for protecting your peace and well-being.
