Summary

If you've ever found yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, or quietly eating boiled spinach for two months just to keep the peace, girl, this episode is for you. We're doing a full deep dive into codependency: what it actually is (because that word gets thrown around a lot), why so many of us end up there without even realizing it, and most importantly, how to move toward something way healthier, interdependence. This is the stuff that changes not just your romantic relationships, but your friendships, your family dynamics, your whole life. Buckle up.

Inside the Episode:

  • Codependency isn't always obvious and our culture makes it worse.
  • The difference between codependency, hyperindependence, and interdependence.
  • 5 practical ways to start building interdependence right now.
