In today’s episode of Mind Matters, we dive into one of the most crucial aspects of our lives—relationships. From romantic partnerships to friendships and family bonds, our relationships profoundly shape our mental and emotional well-being. But how do we distinguish between relationships that lift us up and those that hold us back?
Join your host, Sarthak Soni, as we explore the red flags and green flags of relationships. Learn how to spot the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of toxicity, such as emotional manipulation, control, and gaslighting, and discover what makes a relationship truly healthy and supportive.
