Don the CEO and Lady Poetry invite Jessica Holter, Founder of The Punany Poets into the studio to discuss toxic control and obsession in relationships on Coffy Talk Radio.When we think of toxic relationships, we usually think of those that are physically abusive. But there are other kinds of toxic relationships that can be just as harmful, if not more so. These are the kind of relationships where one person is in complete control of the other, where there is an obsession with power and control.These relationships are often marked by jealousy, manipulation, and a need for constant validation. The toxic partner will try to isolate their partner from friends and family, and they will constantly put them down. They will try to control every aspect of their lives, making them feel like they can never do anything right.If you find yourself in a relationship like this, it's important to get out as soon as possible. These relationships can be incredibly damaging to your mental and emotional health. If you're feeling trapped or like you're walking on eggshells all the time, reach out for help. There are many resources available to help you get out of a toxic relationship and start healing your wounds.

Let's discuss Toxic Relationships tonight with Don the CEO.It's shocking how many people stay in toxic relationships. It's even more shocking how many people don't realize they're in one until it's too late. Toxic relationships are characterized by control, obsession, and a complete lack of respect. If you're in a relationship like this, it's important to get out as soon as possible.staying in a toxic relationship is like slow poison. It might not kill you immediately, but it will slowly eat away at your happiness and your self-respect. eventually, you'll find yourself in a shell of who you once were. if you're lucky, you'll realize what's happening before it's too late. but for many people, the realization comes after they've already lost themselves completely.If you're in a toxic relationship, the best thing you can do is get out of it. It won't be easy, but it's worth it. You deserve to be happy and respected, and no one has the right to take that away from you.

When is the right time to give it up?Intimacy on the First Night, a 20-Something Perspective with Kelly Eve

The Poetic Soul Artistry is Live with Jessica Holter (The Punany Poets) from Myrtle Beach for a conversation about storytelling, Punany, and the roots of Hip Hop and Misogyny.Misogyny is alive and well in hip-hop music. It's one of the most popular genres of music, and it's also one of the most sexist. Women are often objectified and treated as sexual objects in hip-hop lyrics and videos. This is a huge problem because it sends the message that it's okay to treat women this way. It's not okay, and it needs to stop.

Don the CEO and Lady Poetry discuss The Politics in Your Purchasing Power, plus letting go of the idea that it's your partner's responsibility to make you happy.
