We’re all different, and our toxic traits in life are also different. Whether that’s at work, in relationships, in family, or in friendships, what is toxic to you might not be toxic to somebody else. However, toxic traits have one thing in common: They take away a lot of our energy from us, trigger emotional breakdowns, or can take too much of our time. When something isn’t toxic to you, it might be difficult to see how it’s also toxic to someone else. Identifying how toxic traits appear in life is the first step to advocating for yourself and others. Don’t allow toxic traits to steal, drain or deplete your peace, learn how to cultivate your peace.

In this episode of The Beauty in Everything Podcast, we talk about toxic traits, what they look like for us, how they show up on our path and strategies for overcoming them. You are different and unique. What you want is different from what everybody wants. Advocate for what makes you thrive. Glorifying toxic behaviors will suck the life out of you or leave you falling apart.

Listen in to learn how to identify toxic traits and work on them to have a positive regard for yourself and others from real-life experiences. Toxic traits, whether from people, places, or things, will always bring you down but knowing who you are, setting boundaries, and advocating for yourself will enable you to be healthy, whole, and happy. Your life, your peace, and your success matter
