09. Addressing Toxic Relationships

In this episode of Soul Wide Open, I shared a personal experience that led me to realize the importance of clearing space in our lives for magic to happen. I reflected on a past relationship that was no longer serving me and made the decision to delete and block the person from my life. This experience made me question who else in my life was taking up valuable space and emottional real estate without adding any positivity. I emphasize the need to be honest with ourselves about the people and things that may need to be removed from our lives in order to make room for new, positive experiences. By clearing this space, we can attract the love and joy we deserve. I encouraged listeners to reflect on their own relationships and make the necessary changes to create a more fulfilling life. Tune in to learn how creating space can lead to greater fulfillment and connection in your life.

Because if you did not give your marriage 110%, we have no chance of ever making it because you will always wonder whether or not if you went back and gave it 110%, if it would have worked."  "I never want to hear from this person, talk to this person, have this person creating this clog in the drain of my life and the flow."  "Those phone calls were nothing special, they were not a compliment.  As a matter of fact, they're kind of disturbing." "What was he getting out of this by texting me that he missed me, by texting me on my birthday? He's using me for something that he needed." "I thought they were compliments. I thought that made me special somehow." "I didn't tell this person I was deleting them and blocking them. I just did it. They don't need to know. I don't owe them any explanation. I don't owe them anything at all. I did this for me." Stay Connected: Stay  Connected: Learn more about Michelle Renee here. Order Michelle Renee's Memoir, Nine Days, here.
