I'm so happy to be joined once again by Angela Enos, who has taken off her author hat today and put on her motivational speaking chapeau. Today we're talking about her "Not Today" theory: reclaiming your peace from toxic people and thoughts.  Do you have that one toxic person who keeps your phone buzzing or your doorbell chiming at the worst possible moments? The relationship you can’t quite shake, even though you know it’s draining the life out of you? Or maybe the relationship is already over, yet the negative thoughts still race through your mind like they own the place. If any of this sounds familiar, take a deep breath—you’re in the right spot. Today, you’ll discover the “Not Today” Theory. This simple but powerful mindset shift helps you shut down harmful thoughts, step back from toxic connections, and move forward with clarity and confidence.Thanks for listening!You can learn more about Angela by visiting Angela Enos, Author
