    8 Oct 2026

    Continuing on in our series around friendship and conflict, this week Daysha explores what it means to be in a toxic friendship since “toxic” has become the new social media buzzword of the moment and is often being used improperly. She continues to lean on more wisdom from burnout coach, Amina AlTai, to give you three critical assessment points to consider when figuring out if your friendship has become toxic.

    So, if you’ve always wondered:

    • Is my friend toxic or is our friendship just going through a rough patch?

    • How do you know if a friendship is no longer healthy?

    • Can a toxic friendship be fixed?

    24 Sep 2026

    Friendships are just like any other relationship, in that, their wins can feel like our wins. But that also means their bad days or their stress can also feel like ours, too.

    • Why am I losing interest in my friendships?

    • Am I outgrowing my friends or am I just burned out?
