Do you feel like you’re a magnet for toxic people? Why does it seem like it’s one bad relationship after another? Do you sometimes feel so exhausted and damaged that it’s just not worth taking another risk and trusting anyone again?
Although it’s normal to feel this way, especially after one or more unhealthy relationships, the truth is that there are very good reasons for why this is happening to you, and there are definitely things you can do about it!
In this workshop, we will get into what makes you vulnerable to toxic people, from trauma to red flags. We’ll cover everything you need to know so that you can start to recognize unhealthy patterns in your own behavior, and how to replace them with simple, clear boundaries.
We include expert advice in our lively Thrive by Design founder and trauma therapist Jenna Lynsky, who talks about how trauma can keep people stuck in the cycle, and more effective ways to recover.
With this workshop, you’ll be able to avoid a lot of the common mistakes that draw people in, and keep them returning to toxic relationships. When you understand the various methods an abuser uses to lure you in, you’ll know how to develop “toxic radar” to protect yourself.
Awareness is everything. We’ll make sure that you have all the groundwork you need to stop repeating self-destructive patterns and start attracting healthier relationships.

Lisa & Chris: "The Recovery Couple"
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
