When we talk about toxic relationships, people think it concerns only marital relationships or any kind of sexual relationship, just like boyfriends and girlfriends. But any kind of relationship can be toxic! Even the relationship with your parent or sibling, teacher, mentor, etc. Bold Moves: Take Back Your Power, Reclaim Your Peace, And Live Happy on Purpose by Sandy Wardenburgis a 150-page book that will turn your life around for good.

In the case of the author, she was in a toxic relationship with her mom, who is a manipulator. Her mom finds ways to cut her heart to pieces with aggressive and negative words. Out of necessity, Sandy developed tactics and procedures, along with other techniques, to overcome many of the self-limiting beliefs that had developed as a result of the years-long control her mother had had over her life. In this book, she shares those strategies with readers to help them move away from their own demons and live a liberated life. She shared many stages of her life in which she couldn't live up to her full potential. She also shared aspects of her life on which she has worked. Sandy uses her own life to convince others to leave bad relationships and start over as more confident and better versions of themselves.

I love that this book not only motivates you but also compels you to make decisions for your healing process. The author went further to include action steps that you will take. This feature made the book seem more like a practical guide for the readers. I really appreciate this. She even went so far as to give readers examples of how they could take action. Every chapter moves you from one healing process to another.

I learned that you couldn't change people to act differently. They change themselves. It is up to you to decide to take over your own life. I loved the quotes the author occasionally shared at the beginning of every chapter. It gave me an inspiring and fresh beginning each time. She also shares many resources for readers to get access to. Sincerely, there was nothing I disliked about this book. Hence, I am giving it the 5 out of 5 stars it deserves.

The author was able to write this helpful piece because she has worn that shoe. She has been in a position where she has been on the receiving end of toxicity. Hence, I urge people in any sort of hurtful relationship to pick up this book. If, after each encounter with a person close to you, you end up having self-doubt, cry yourself to sleep, or start having dangerous thoughts, then you need to read this. Allow Sandy to assist you in regaining your strength. This book was exceptionally well edited, as I did not encounter any errors while reading it.

I didn't think that relationships with one's family can also be termed as toxic. I thought we were supposed to accept them no matter what they do because they are family. This is definitely an exposure for me. Nice review!

No matter the type of relationship it is, family or not, once it's toxic, then you must walk away immediately. Otherwise, you risk loosing yourself and your worth in the mess.
