Is Walking Away from a Toxic Situation an Act of Courage or Avoidance??

In the debut episode of Vibe N Affirmations, host G dives into a conversation that many have wrestled with—when you walk away from a toxic situation, are you showing courage or just avoiding the hard parts? We’ve all been there, holding on to relationships, friendships, jobs, or situations that no longer serve us, convincing ourselves that if we just try a little harder, give it one more chance, or wait for things to change, maybe… just maybe, it’ll get better. But what happens when staying is doing more harm than good? And on the flip side—what if walking away is just a way to escape discomfort instead of truly dealing with the issue?

This episode unpacks the nuance of leaving vs. enduring, exploring when walking away is an act of self-care versus when it’s avoidance, how fear keeps us stuck in toxic cycles, and why so many people feel pressured to “stick it out” even when leaving is the healthier choice.

G also shares a deeply personal story about staying in a situation for too long, the emotional toll it took, and the moment of clarity that finally pushed her to choose herself. With an affirmation to set the tone, a guided reflection to sit with, and a breakdown of what toxic vs. healthy relationships actually feel like, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to let go.

The affirmation for today’s episode is: "I have the courage to choose what’s best for me, even when it’s hard." Let that sit with you. Because sometimes, walking away isn’t giving up—it’s choosing yourself.
