how to get rid of TOXIC friends 

Laura cracks me up!!! The “don’t be asking me where Manny is cause he is in the streets and I am asleep” part was hilarious!!!

Advice starts at 29:30 🤣

As a mom of two toddlers , you NEVER feel like you have done enough . Every night you always think of what you could have done more of or you should have been nicer . It’s exhausting & draining . But it’s also so rewarding to watch them grow . A piece of you growing , literally something you created . 😭❤️

Can we have a survivor influencer edition!!?!? You 2 gotta be on it 😂😂😂who else should be on it….

LAURA NOT A RAT TURD😭😭 you guys just made my drive to work 100x better!!! thank you for always entertaining us 💗

Personally I grew up as the big sister with little siblings that I had to care for like my own, and now as an adult I have 2 daughters. I’ve never known any different. I think being a parent means just being extremely selfless sometimes even to a fault! ❤

I "broke up" with a toxic friend. It was very difficult but I felt SO AMAZING after she was out of my life!

Laura’s outfit, hair, makeup.. everything 😍😍😍 🔥

I don't usually like to comment on anyone's relationship as far as influencers or celebrities even when I really love the relationship, bc we hear about how many people feel really stuck or guilty about wanting to leave a relationship bc their fans really love &support it, but honestly it makes my heart soo happy to hear Laura talk about Tyler randomly buying her flowers recently, I've always loved yalls relationship so much and always get the vibe that yall are meant for each other when he's been in videos so it deff made me smile 💜💜

I had my kids in my 20’s. They’re 7 years apart, once my second son was born my first son had a built in friend. I still did everything I wanted to. I had my parents to babysit when I went to work and when I wanted to go out. Honestly, I love being with my boys so I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. My friends brought their kids to my house or we went there. It’s not that hard to still have time for yourself

He didn’t come clean though, he got caught. BIG difference. He would have never told her if the mistress didn’t DM her…. He’s trash and he will more than likely do it again. Forgive but if she can’t forget, she’s got to move on. Just my opinion of course and speaking from experience. 🙏🏼

When your talking about the toll on mothers. I am 31 and when my daughter was 4 I decided to go back to school. 2 weeks after I started school I found out I was pregnant with my son. But here I am. Half way through nursing school with a 6 year old and one year old. Some days are HARDDDDDD. Many nights I do not sleep but I love my kids so much and school is my thing I am doing for me. It’s hard to explain but whenever it gets fucking hard and I wanna give up I remember that I want my kids to have everything I didn’t have. ❤

To the girl who’s husband was cheating…I want you to know emotional cheating can sometimes be worse than physical cheating. Emotions & feelings are involved. If your married and have kids..you definitely CAN make it work but it’s going to take time and lots of honesty. But if you don’t choose that, I don’t blame you either. ❤

The beginning of this was so amazing hahaha the survivor talking and Manny’s hookup. Dead lol 💀😆😶🤭

I think it can be normal to have a period in your relationship where you are roommates. Sometimes life problems can cause curve balls especially kids. When my son was born, we had and still have to actively choose each other everyday. It doesn’t always mean fancy date nights but it can mean a hug and 5 min talk when you get home from work, serving each other, etc. it doesn’t have to be this huge thing AND your relationship isn’t necessarily in jeopardy if you are experiencing this

LAURA! I just choked on my dr pepper when you hissed talking about being hungry on survivor 😂

Mannys stories always get me together! I always end up having to get up and walk away to process what I just heard lol ❤

These last few episodes Laura had been SLAYINGGG her looks😮‍💨😍✨ & Manny is looking stunning as alwaysss❤️‍🔥

I really loved all the things you spoke on today. Felt like a therapy sesh.❤ Love you.

We need Manny and Laura camping!!!

Dang y’all! This episode rocked and kept me locked in the whole time. Definitely my favorite one so far💗Love you both!!

I could watch you two for hours upon hours upon hours. Thank you so much for being such a delight in our lives and for giving really solid advice. ❤

Having to cut a toxic boyfriend out ur life is hard but what I did is focus more on myself. I have focused alot on self care and self love. Makeup, hair skin care. Things that I have neglected being in a toxic draining relationship. Being alone with myself and loving myself again. Watching yall and especially watching Laura with her vlogs. Cleaning organizing and self care has helped me alot. ❤

Going home to be a parent to my two year old after working all day is seriously a struggle every single day. I call it second shift 🫠 And in regards to “you chose this” I do want to say that I had no idea just how hard being a parent would be. I feel like I didn’t choose THIS 😂 but rather the idea of what I thought parenting would be like. But I always love ya’ll’s view on parenting and children!! It really seems like you get it and have empathy for us

My sister has 3 kids and her youngest was in camp for a week during summer and we had lunch - she was SO grumpy and I asked her what was wrong and she said “I HATE summer” 😂. You give up a LOT with multiple kids. I have one - he’s 22 now and I’m loving life 😂😂😂 AMEN on what family is

laura is stunnin in that outfit girl that color on you!!! and manny looking buff okay i see you period

EVERY SINGLE QUESTION that you guys talked about is something i needed to hear.🥺❤️

I'll be honest.. I'm a mom of one. She'll be 10 this year and I love her with my whole heart! But I'd be lying if I didn't sometimes wish I didn't have that responsibility. Sometimes I wanna feel free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Lol. I'm a one and done baby!!!

Oh my gosh, I love that y’all are going to talk about this! It is so hard to get rid of toxic friends. Love y’all for this ❤️

The toxic family remembers part i went through for very long time .one day i got tired of it so i moved and cut them off it hurt but life so much better .

I have to admit that my hubby and I have watched 42 out of the 43 seasons!!! Can’t wait for the new season!!!

I have three not a fan of kids but have unconditional love for my minions 😂 I’m from the Caribbean and it’s a village that had a helping hand which includes aunt, uncles, siblings, grandparents and all great mentors Your heart grows with each new addition. This is a personal point of view ❤❤ Love you guys

I have no kids but I wanted to chime in... when my older sister had her first child, I loved that baby with everything in me. I remember thinking, 'Will I have enough love in my heart for any other kids?' And let me tell you, I now have 3 nieces and 6 nephews and the love is infinite ♾️ Sooo, I can only imagine it's like x infinity for parents as they MADE those humans!❤

I have 3 kids, a single mom here and yes, your heart grows. My kids are my motivation, they make me grow as a person. Needed more space, bought a house, needed more money, got a better job. They are so much work, but it's so freaking worth it, the love is tremendous. And that's what keeps you going.... we're exhausted yes, but our hearts are so full ❤❤

I love Laura and Tyler's marriage. It reminds me so much of my husband and I. We've been together almost 19 years married almost 10. He was my best friend/neighbor first and I truly think that's eat helped us so much. It's def a blessing. I love him more daily and it's crazy to me because I never felt this way before. Everyone deserves this kind of love in their lives.

your advice is literally better than so many self help gurus and coaches out there. very practical and insightful!

My peak: I'll have the house to myself for a bit tonight and most of tomorrow. My pit: I started my period today. The cramps freaking suck. Just binged a few episodes of the new season of Ragnarok on Netflix, so y'all posting came at a great time for a little break from that show. It's really good. A lot just goes down and it gets kinda intense at times.

Lol on the kids convo. All good points. Its like anything in life, until you experience it, you really can't ever imagine how it will impact your life. I am a single mom of two, work full time and I am also currently in school full time. It's a lot and most days go by so quickly. Kids are definitely a handful but its the sweetest moments they create with their thoughts and watching them learn and grow, it's literally what gives me the strength to get through every day! I think without my children I wouldn't be as filled with love, worry and stress haha but I also wouldn't know a love like this. My children changed my life. I know everyone says that!but its true you really don't know sacrifice, or worry like this until you experience parenthood. It helped me grow up so much. Definitely nothing wrong with not having kids. I think before it was the ideal dream because the mom was home to tend to the kids. Now everyone works and can go in so many directions that the dream is more personalized!

This is by far my favorite episode. Everything about it just hit so hard on very important life lessons. I needed to hear the motivation/career part so bad. Im 28. Got my esthetician license in March. And the job market is horrible. I've had 2 jobs, but one closed it's business and the other was a hair salon and I need to be surrounded by Estheticians to learn techniques. I introduced myself and gave my resume out to the places I applied yesterday, and they all literally handed my resume back and told me they will call. Everything is online now. My initiative means nothing 😭 y'all better pray for our generation.

Laura should be a motivational coach. I’ve never heard advice said in the ways she says it about motivation and life and it’s never clicked for me in 29 years like when she talks about it!

Speaking of Laura on a flight back from Alabama & also being a gal from the deep south…. My ENTIRE being for the longest has wanted to witness Laura take Manny back to her roots for a trip & film a vlog. Why do I feel like it would be giving Simple Life? I would love it SO much! 😂🤣

Not Manny saying my favorite quote as a therapist... "feelings are not facts!" Yes, I love Manny even more.

Thank you for making my day! I just had a falling out with my sis and it just ruined friday. Watching you guys is making me forget about it.

LOVE the survivor convo. It’s such an underrated show. Enjoyed the strategy talk. And Laura you would look sooo beautiful on survivor all natural! Almost every time people look better than when all done up, to me at least

The way I’m cracking up with you guys at the beginning tells me we would be good friends 😂

Just imagine Laura shitting in the sand like a cat in a litter box, hissing at the other survivors, and climbing trees🤣🤣 absolutely feral!!

Laura said if she had 4 kids no birthdays or Christmas lmao😂 love u Laura. Love seeing new podcasts and vlogs from u and manny ❤

Such an important topic I wish I had podcasts to listen to like this in my early 20s!!! Hearing real life examples of toxicity makes it click even more that something is wrong. I had to cut some toxic people out of my life and it’s for the better! Can’t wait to listen to the full podcast!!! ❤❤❤ @foolcoverage

"my orifices are going through the gigs" I'm dying 😂😂

That sounds like an adventure!! So glad you had a fun night Manny!🌈💖

Becoming a parent just changes you. It’s the hardest job ever, and it seems unfathomable as to why someone would do it.. but once you take it on, you’d never take it back. My kids have opened a side of life and a type of love that can’t be unlocked in any other way. With that being said, it’s VERY hard. I fully respect those who choose not to as well.

Love y’all so much. You guys balance each other so well. Amazing advice all around and super relatable! Thanks for your constant honesty and positivity ❤

Working and busting your ass off at work non stop THEN coming home to a HARDER JOB is wild to me. I have a son & I consider myself the best mom so it’s fkn HARD! And giiiiiirl when you’re SICK, I literally wanna cry all day because as a momma YOU CANT BE SICK!! It’s wild af, I’m still shook 😂

Petition for survivor to do an influencer season! We want Laura!!

My father-in-law always said "opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one"😂😂 1:08:21

My husband and I have been together for going on 25 years,we got together when we were teenagers. There's times when we co-exist and there"s times when we are co dependent with each other. It fluctuates.There's loyalty, trust,and love for each other no matter what❤

survivor has a camera crew but on big brother you’re completely confined and for the most part, cameras are concealed. it’s a whole different psychological mind game

🤣 MANNY-“HOW IS THIS YOUR PEAK?” As HE SCRATCHES HIS HEAD CONFUSED… LIKE?!!

30 days into survivor and Manny becomes Bear Manny, his final form, lol

I love when Laura goes off on a topic, she gets SPICY 😳😳😳

Y’all talking about the kids was SO DAMN FUNNY. Mom of one, so I feel you. I always wanted more though but I didn’t work out. That was so damn funny to me though! 😅❤

I teared up when you guys were acknowledging how hard we have it as parents - I have 3 kids aged 5 and under and my life is chaotic but I love it. Thanks guys! 🩷🤍

fool coverage is always the PEAK of my fridays

Me in the talking stage to a man I just met: Am actually looking for something serious. Him: 16:39

LaurA’s fits are always the moment !!

The survivor talk literally killllled me you guys are hilarious LMFAO

The emotional cheating one is so hard. It’s ok she’s feeling torn & it’s easier for us to judge and tell someone what to do, but it’s true at the end of the day it’s whether or not you want to deal with that for the rest of your life. What he did was not ok regardless. Emotional cheating can lead to other things & he only came clean because he got caught. It’s so much harder because now kids are involved and tbh it’s always harder for us women to make that hard decision. We always think of our families, but he didn’t think of that when he went to that other girl. So definitely take your time to really think of everything and whether this will workout again.

23:09 the gasp 🤣 guys until you truly want a family you won’t understand but it’s not that difficult to understand. Being a parent is the best gift in the world❤️ right now you live for yourself, when you have kids you live for them. So nothing you do for them is a hassle or impossible.

lemme tell about my families’ and i bdays 😂 my mom - june 14 my older sister - june 16 my brother - june 19 my niece - july 1 my grandma - july 6 mine - july 7 my other niece - august 3 my nephew - august 18 my younger sister is in november and my dads is in december the financial STRESSSSS i get during the summer all bc of birthdays is definitely criminal😂 four children in a family is definitely too much💀

😂😂😂‼️ I’m just now finishing this episode and “Who are you?! Where did you come from?!” is WILD! 👶👧🧒👦👀 25:30

35:37 yaaaas Laura with the advise on how to move on, everything she said 🙌🏾

Laura’s sound effects kill me! 😂😂 I love it 😂

About 10 years ago i realized my "best friend" really just wanted to be on the front row and the first to know everything in my life. Be careful who you trust.

Can I just say the advice you gave Ms. Girl who’s husband had an emotional affair was SPOT ON. It sounds like she is feeling torn that she “should” want to move past this with hubs but doesn’t. In life there is no should! If you’re betrayed, no matter how big or small, and you feel like you don’t want to be in that spot again- don’t feel guilty. The world and society will tell you you “should” give him another chance and no one is perfect but giiiiiirl. You have one life. If in the future you want to give it a shot again- you can! Don’t pressure and manipulate yourself to feel a way that doesn’t feel right in your gut.

LOVE THIS EPISODE 🩵 and you guys 🥹

Not Manny saying I am walking a little funny today 😂😂😂😂

I had a”friend”that was so nice to my face, but if she thought I was going to get a second more attention than her, she’d find a way to try to upstage me. If I got my hair done, she’d do hers, or if she didn’t have the money to, she’d talk crap how she was so mad, she even got pregnant because she couldn’t stand all the attention another friend of hers got. Literally…

I loved all the advices given especially when it come to not putting up with toxic friends, family or significant other. Cut them out. I did that to a couple "family" members and man do I feel more at peace.

Laura’s face when manny is giving her the tea😂😂😮

I loved this episode, y’all were driving the nail home with the letting go of toxicity 🙌🏽, please do more!!!! Love you guys 🩷🩷

Omg I laughed sooo hard in the beginning I spit my water out! 😂😂😂😂

HUNNIIIII!!! That pink outfit was made for you girl 🩷

Lithium is really important for many with schizophrenia and bipolar II disorder. It’s a mega mood regulator. Pretty messed up that survivor doesn’t allow it because you can’t cut lithium cold turkey and some who are prescribed it have extreme suicidal thoughts without it.

Can we just say that Laura’s outfit is SLAYINGGGG!! 🔥🔥

24:16 Laura calling Erin a “those” 😂😂 I’m dead!

I loved the advice on not taking things personally. Always a good reminder! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.

I literally love you guys and this pod. I listen on my way home and had to pop on the video while at the gym to finish. I love the perspectives just like you said. ❤!

The first 16 minutes have me crying of laughter I’m sooooo dead I love you guys😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Keep coming with these amazing topics and I am so excited when a new podcast comes out cuz it’s FRIDAY 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for acknowledging the 2nd shift..It’s hard but I wouldn’t change it for anything ❤(mommy of 3)

SUCH a good episode! Manny and Laura give amazing advice. Please do this again soon!! 💕

I love the friend advice because i truly needed it. I have been friends with a group since i was 15 years old and we outgrew each other & i found out through another friend they were all talking bad about me. It broke my heart, but at almost 30 years old i need to let go of them. I don’t want to get to a point of hating them so i want to let go now. While i still have good memories.

O M G !!! LAURAAAAAAA!!! “DID IT HURT TO POOPY?” 💀 🤣 SHE SAID IT LIKE A MOMMA TALKING TO HER TODDLER! 😝

The segment of taking things personally and who you take criticism from; I worked in retail and now hospitality and it reminds me…the amount of customers every day who say, you should do this or you shouldn’t do that gets annoying. We don’t have our jobs down perfectly but we are professionals in what we do because we do it 30+ hours a week, the customers don’t, so taking it personally is pointless because we do in fact know. If it’s a manager, that’s different, because they do know a better way a lot of times and it’s good criticism or feedback.

I think this was my favorite episode so far! I was cracking up watching lol love you guys!

BOTH OF YALL NEED TO GO ON BIG BROTHERRRR at least watch it!!! I love it so much. Davonne is my fav player ever

I LOVED this episode!!! Can yall do more of these?! And also, how can I ask for advice for the next time yall do this?? Because I really need advice on this topic & I will take all 3 of yalls advice. Love you guys ❤❤

Feelings are not Facts. I like that. Learned something new.

Manny and Laura need to go on the circle as a dynamic duo and be actual FISH of the cat variety 😈😈😈

COMPLETELY agree on the kid front! I have 2, obviously love them to pieces, but anymore and I would literally be insane!!!!!!
