Welcome to what drives you. I'm Kevin Miller. I spent a lifetime performing and producing and doing.

Now I'm seeking out to be, how to find peace and fulfillment and my full potential as a human.

So I investigate, contemplate, educate on human potential,

and I share it here.

I don't want mere happiness at this point.

I want to find true joy, peace, and fulfillment and every day. In this episode,

doing too much, your superhuman efforts are hurting more than helping and how you can claim peace.

So friends, I have discovered I am a flag-flying high-functioning co-dependent or I have been and I'm working my way out of it. But that's what I've been doing for a long time and I'm more than ready to be done. So high-functioning codipendent, HFC, it's a new term and a new look at codependency and the concept and the term was cooid by

renowned psychotherapist Terry Cole who I have with me in this episode this will actually be the third time I've had her on the show. I believe this discussion will hit many of you as it did me who have been living the life of overdoing it, doing too much, with a good heart and even strong threads from religious

backgrounds that ingrained in us the idea of valiantly striving, to selflessly give and serve until there's

nothing left of you. I bought into that as a kid and I lived a life of that

hero until I finally hit burnout in bitterness. So I've been working for years to crawl out and now Terry comes along with this

new message and this book called Too Much, a guide to breaking the cycle of high functioning codependency.

So we get deep and really personal here

and see evidence of I do in HSC in so so many people

that I know and respect. I see it slowly eroding their

peace which has been my story. Terry has a free toolkit on H-S-C you can get right now and go to Terry that's T E R R R R I Cole

dot com slash hFC. She has some free gifts when you buy the book.

If you go to HFC book.com, and you can tune in right now

to her podcast, it's the Terry Cole show.

My friends, this is episode 1482 and as we've had over 70 million downloads, I'm so grateful for all of you who are new to the show.

Thanks for fighting your way here. Appreciate you listening to
