#2 - How to make this your best year ever (Part 1)

We've all heard someone give advice on cutting toxic people out of our lives. You've likely heard me say it on this podcast before. But what if that isn't the best solution? What if there's a way to differentiate between truly toxic people and those who are difficult and struggle with negativity? And what if you're the person in their life that can help them evolve and grow? In today's episode, I dive deep into this topic to challenge conventional wisdom and provide three questions to ask yourself and three steps to help you with the difficult people in your life. Instead of completely cutting people out of our lives, these relationships might be a way for you to add value to their lives with your friendship. So today, I'll share a few personal stories, including one that might just change how you view difficult relationships forever. You'll learn how to distinguish between truly toxic individuals and those who are simply difficult, and you'll discover why dealing with challenging people might be the ultimate growth opportunity—for you and for them.
