230: Running Away From Toxic with Dr. Heidi Brocke
Show Notes

“The day I ran away was the scariest day of my life but I did it,” says Dr. Heidi Brocke, a Toxic Relationship Awareness & Healing Specialist. After spending 14 years in an emotionally and narcissistically abusive marriage, Dr. Heidi did the impossible and fled her prison of toxicity. (Spoiler: it only feels impossible but, as Dr. Heidi will show you, it is possible to leave). 

Joining Chelsea 5:30 minutes in, Dr. Heidi opens up about starting over in a whole new city and in a whole new marriage, a rebirth that wouldn’t liberate her overnight but which would eventually lead her to owning her story and starting a coaching practice that helps educate and empower anyone interested in healing or recovering from a toxic relationship. 

Topics discussed within:

— the most heartbreaking decision of her life: being separated from her children for 5 years, after fleeing her toxic husband
— why understanding a toxic person’s motivations gives you your power back
— the 4 reasons a toxic personality wants you in your life
— how toxic personalities trap you early on 
— toxic identity theft
— making yourself a priority and discovering who you are when a toxic partner isn’t telling you who to be

And, so much more.
