Character Outs Terri

On this episode of the Character Outs podcast we talk about the haunting of our toxic family members that we have gone no contact with.

Ok, ok..I'm not talking about Ghostbusters shit. I'm talking about when we see, smell or hear something that reminds us of our toxic family.

Let's face it, we went no contact, but they are still a part of our past and our memories.

So...what should we do when they haunt. We will talk all about it.

On this episode of the Character Outs Podcast we talk about the shrinking circle.

Ya know, when you have the bittersweet superpower of seeing:

~manipulation

~passive aggressive behavior

~gas lighting

~crazy making

And....you want to run but you can't because:

~you would be a bitch

~you've been friends with that person forever

~you would be like your toxic family

NO!

On this episode I am on a mission to change the societal perception that having ALLL the friends in the world defines you as a 'good person' and not allowing toxic friends to have access to you makes you a bitch.

I like to consider myself an exclusive club and no, I do not allow a lot of people in. But I am tired of making apologies for my boundaries and standards and keeping toxic people in my life because it's the right and nice thing to do.

We have let go of our toxic families and we are growing and evolving. Not everyone will be able to keep up and...that's OK!

On this episode of the Character Outs podcast we talk about that good ol' phrase I ask myself over and over...

Am I the problem?

Sigh....

That phrase used to haunt me.

Yes, it USED to haunt me.

Not that I feel I have achieved perfection (hell nah.)

I have just refused to comply to the balls of toxicity thrown at me anymore.

Things like...

'Oh, your family doesn't talk to you? YOU must be the problem.'

or

'Oh, your entire family has a problem with you? You must be the common denominator.'

We talk about how to NOT allow these things to bother us anymore cus let's be honest, we are critical enough on ourselves for the entire population, am I right?

On this episode of the Character Outs podcast we talk about SOME of the f****d-up things that we normalized while we were still in the trenches with our toxic family. Cus let's be honest, I could commit HOURS if we discussed all of the every single thing that we normalized, am I right?

But....those days are over, so now what?

We are also going to talk about what we need to start normalizing now that we are no contact. And sometimes, that leaves us holding our ground (but also doubting ourselves) losing toxic people (but also blaming ourselves) feeling guilty for speaking our needs and truth (cus ya know, I would be a not nice girl if I did that)

AHHHHHH!! I am VERY passionate about this topic you guys.

Know your worth and don't take any shit, we talk about it on this episode.

If no one has told you lately, it's not you, never has been, you don't have to fix it and you are not alone.
