Hi Friend,
In October of last year a "friend" I'd stood behind and been supportive of turned on me.
In addition to the friendship her toxic behavior and false accusations ended, she was influential in a group I invested my time, energy and passion into for over a year so that ended too.
I was happy with the way I managed her yelling untruths in my face in front of people I cared about. My words were simple, "I'm going to go now," and I turned and walked away.
My personal growth accomplishments allowed me to stay calm and collected.
Two things happened after that:
- I released the emotions from her and the group to learn the lessons I needed yet never miss them or wonder, "what if..." because that would be toxic to my future.
- I wrote an article on the topic of toxic friendships for YourTango that landed on their home page.
Two weeks ago today, Yahoo! Beauty published my article onto their site! As you can imagine having TWO articles on Yahoo in the same week has been exceptional! I'm honored and grateful.
The topic of toxic friendships and relationships is a hot one and unfortunately happening in many people's lives, which is why the big websites jump on it. What does this have to do with YOU? You need tools to respond instead of react. One grows a bright future and one keeps you stuck. You also need tools to decipher if your friendships are healthy.
Excerpt from my article: "As crazy as it sounds, people don’t do things to us. They do things for themselves to get their needs met. If someone helps you, they did so because it makes them feel good to help. If they attack you, it makes them feel big and strong for the moment. If we take everything personally, we won’t have any self-confidence at all, which results in low self-esteem, which creates a lack of healthy boundaries to protect us mentally, emotionally and physically. That leaves us where most of us are today—feeling uncomfortably vulnerable with our emotions flapping in the breeze of other peoples’ words and actions." Read the full article here on Yahoo! "Friendships have an expiration date. Some of those dates are after our own although most are before." - Kelly Rudolph Special Announcement For YOU:
Since your future is designed around your level of healthy self-esteem, (which 99.9% of women struggle with). And the first step to healthy self-esteem and happy life and future is building up your self-confidence (including healthy boundaries, getting your needs met, magnetizing what you want into your life with ease and grace, etc). I have created a new, fun group coaching program to Catapult Your Confidence during July!
