Episode 11: Mindful Farewells: Stepping Back from Unhealthy Business and Personal Relationships

Hello, Visionista in Action!

Welcome back! In this episode, Dr. Yanina Gomez guides you through the courageous self-care of gracefully dialing down one-sided connections—those toxic relationships and “coffee to pick my brain” chats that leave you drained instead of inspired.

 

Reflection Prompts:

  1. Which relationship repeatedly asks for favors without reciprocation?

  2. Who feels like a “relational vampire” in your network?

  3. How do you feel before, during, and after those interactions?

This Week’s Mindful Strategies:

  1. Boundary Declaration

  2. Gradual Relationship Downgrade

This Week’s Action Steps.:

  1. Name One Farewell: Journal the relationship you’ll downshift and the usual favor they request.

  2. Practice Your Script: Role-play your Boundary Declaration aloud.

  3. Implement Slow Responses: Delay non-urgent replies and limit meetups to 20 minutes.

  4. Reflect & Share: DM me one insight from trusting your energy during conversations.
