Getting Out of Toxic Relationships - with Azura

Romantic relationships can be a fountain of companionship, adventure and security when they’re going well. But regardless of the number of people involved or the relationship style, relationships that become all-consuming, codependent, or toxic can be a devastatingly significant drain on quality of life. Sometimes identifying that the relationship is a problem and getting out are easier said than done.

In this episode, Azura shares her experience of getting stuck in a relationship where she felt she couldn’t be herself, was discouraged from taking up space and eventually ended up feeling unsafe. Eventually, she felt so depressed and trapped that she put in what she called her “two weeks notice on life”, grabbed her things and high-tailed it across the country. Pushing aside the fog of trauma, Azura bravely reclaimed her life and the space to be herself.
