today we are sharing our groundbreaking paradigm shifting conversation with melody

Beattie the author of Co-dependent No More who really helped us differentiate between

healthy and unhealthy helping helping. Okay? How do we know when our help

is helping and when our help is hurting? So this episode had us all stopping to take a good

long look in the mirror and asking, am I the kind or am I codependent? We learned that lots of pod squatters,

including Amanda, who assumed they knew what codependent was and that it didn't apply to them,

were sadly and codependently mistaken. In this episode, Melody shares the daily practice that

helps her stop controlling others and

let life happen. Why no one is able to gaslight you more than you. And the one area of life

where codependency is actually necessary. That was a big relief to me. By the end, we kind of

all surrendered to the truth that we will never be codependent no more and kind of found something powerful and helpful even in that admission.

Are you ready?

Let's go.
