Detaching from Toxic People

from THE DRIVE · host Josh Downs

Some people in life act like leeches—draining our energy, peace, and joy. But the hardest truth to accept is this: sometimes we allow them to stay attached. In this powerful episode of The Drive, Josh explores the concept of detachment from toxic relationships and why learning to step away from unhealthy dynamics is essential for personal growth and emotional health. Through powerful insights, real-life examples, and practical guidance, this episode explores how unhealthy attachments form, why we struggle to break them, and how healthy boundaries can free us from relationships that drain the life out of us. Detachment doesn’t mean you stop caring. It means you stop losing yourself.
