Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

My name is Lisa A. Romano.

I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I am a believer in the power of an organized mind.

My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness rather

than living a reactive life.

May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope as you

spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

So today we're going to be talking about the eight pillars of codependency.

I want to create this session around helping people better understand codependency from the ground up

so that we can learn to take accountability for

how we're showing up in the 3D world. Because so many of us who find ourselves having the

traits of codependency also discover as we're learning to heal and learning to understand

codependency, we often discover that we have

found ourselves in relationships with people who tend to be energy vampires or with people

who tend to be takers, with people who tend to blame shift, with people who tend to lack accountability, people who tend to

be entitled, people who tend to exploit the kindness of others. And so I wanted to break down

this list that I created and help people who are really trying to figure out, well, where is the line in which I can be

more accountable for myself when dealing with other people? Because what you'll discover

on this path is that you're going to get to a past, you're going to get to a point or a crossroads

in your life where you realize that you're the common get to a past, you're going to get to a point or a crossroads in your life

where you realize that you're the common denominator and that nothing changes until you change.
