23. Healing and Rediscovering Yourself After Breaking Free from Toxic Relationships (Part 1)

Hey friends, if you’ve ever been caught in a toxic relationship—whether with a spouse, friend, co-worker, family member, or church leader—you know how deeply it can wound you. I’ve been there too, and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, confused, and like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey of breaking free from toxic relationships and the healing process that comes afterward. I’ll introduce you to a tool that’s been life-changing for me and many others—the Unhappy Kid Triangle—which helps you identify the toxic roles we often find ourselves playing, whether it’s as the Helpless Baby, the Bossy Helper, or the Blaming Bully. I’ve personally cycled through all of these roles at different points, and recognizing them was the first step in my healing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the weight of toxic dynamics, I want you to know that I understand how hard it is. But I also want you to know that freedom is possible. You can break free, just like I did.

Here’s what I’ll be sharing:

How to recognize the roles that are keeping you stuck
Practical steps I’ve used to break free from these patterns in my own life
How God’s truth can help you heal and renew your mind
What’s coming in the next episode as we explore the Happy Kid Triangle and how to live in the freedom Christ offers

If you’re tired of feeling trapped, I’m here to tell you—you’re not alone, and there’s a way out. I know it because I’ve lived it. Together, we’ll take those first steps toward healing and rediscovering who you are in Christ.

So hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs it. Let’s walk this journey to freedom together.

May the Lord bless you.

xoxo,

Danielle
