Description

Your two smartass aunts, Ivy Hensley and Katie Boothe, unscientifically analyze toxicity in every relationship. What do you need to detox from? Have you ever reflected on your relationships and wondered - Is this toxic? Sure, many of us have experienced toxic friendships, romantic relationships, or family members. But what about your relationship between you and your phone? You and your favorite Pop Star? The relationship between your cat and that one blue jay who won't stop dive-bombing him in the back yard? (That one's probably toxic.)
