What To Do When It Just Feels ‘Off’
When you notice someone does something toxic the first time, don’t wait for the second time before you address it or cut them off.

How To Own and Meet Your Own Needs
“From what I’ve seen, it isn’t so much the act of asking that paralyzes us–it’s what lies beneath: the fear of being vulnerable, the fear of rejection, the fear of looking needy or weak.
