Welcome to Coffee and Counseling with your hosts Cherlette McCullough and Cristina Ally. We have a great show for you today. Today we are talking about toxic relationships. While no relationship is picture perfect, whether its family, romantic or business it could be TOXIC. But for the most part, a good relationship should make you feel heard, secure, happy, cared for, respected, and free to be yourself. Toxic relationships are ones that make you feel angry, drained, depleted, and sometimes confused.

So today, we will talk about what a toxic relationship looks like, how to handle a toxic relationship, how to end a toxic relationship, dating after a toxic relationship has ended and more importantly how to take ownership if you are the toxic person in the relationship.  So, if you’re ready for a great show, let’s jump right in!...
