About This Workshop

It’s so important to hear from people who made it to the other side after a toxic relationship... and found healthy love. Although the two of us have our own success story, we think it’s necessary that you hear from others as well, and Nikky’s story is guaranteed to inspire you!

Even if you’re thinking that nothing will change, there’s still much to learn from people who have achieved a life of peace and happiness after a toxic relationship.

In this workshop, we go through the final straw with what made Nikky finally leave her marriage, the effects of emotional abuse, coping mechanisms, and issues involving trust and dating in the aftermath of a toxic relationship.

With this workshop, you’ll go on one woman’s journey from an unhealthy relationship to finding true love. In the process, you’ll discover common struggles, questions, and issues that arise when getting out and moving on from a toxic relationship.

We’ll make sure you reflect on your own situation so that you can take steps to begin moving forward on a path to healing.

Workshop Hosts

Lisa & Chris: "The Recovery Couple"

Co-Founder

Lisa Johnson

My toxic marriage lasted for nearly two decades, and I had no idea what I was actually dealing with until after I got out!

I am a state-certified domestic violence advocate and trained crisis counselor, with a background in education. I was able to use these skills to successfully represent myself in court for the past few years since the divorce, battling an ex who has disobeyed multiple court orders without consequence (yet!).

Even though I live the “warrior” lifestyle, I’ve managed to balance that with sole parenting my two nearly adult children, running a business in fashion, and loving life with Chris, who makes me laugh more than anyone.

Co-Founder

Chris Barry

I was with a severe malignant narcissist for 14 years and still need to deal with her because we have two teenagers together. That's the bad news.

The GOOD news is that I'm out, and with firm boundaries in place, have very little contact with my ex. Best of all, I've found true love with Lisa and can model a healthy relationship for all of our kids.

Today, Lisa and I are dedicated to offering hope, guidance, and community to others struggling with toxic relationships so they can find the strength they need to sanity back and get out faster, cheaper, and with less pain.

FAQ

  • How long will this take? I don't have free time.

    How much time are you already spending on worrying, arguing, Googling your partner's irrational behaviors, and losing sleep? Each of our course modules is divided into bite-size chunks, which you can listen to at your convenience (usually totaling less than two hours.)

  • I'm just looking for information. I think I can get through this myself.

    We got through it on our own, but we suffered unnecessarily along the way. Our goal in launching this program is to use our expert knowledge to get you through it a lot faster, cheaper, better, and with less pain than if you try to do it on your own.

  • Do you have a mobile app?

    Not yet, but the learning platform that BTGO's Sanity School is built on is fully responsive for mobile devices and should offer a great learning experience on any device.

  • Why do you charge for your workshops?

    There's a ton of free information available on the internet, some good, some not so good. We strive to do the best job of cutting through all the noise and giving you the most helpful guidance and support that you'll find anywhere. This is a full-time effort for us, and we simply need to earn an income from it. With all of that said, we feel that our workshops are priced very reasonably and affordably, and are a great value.
