Most of us don't set out to control people—we think we're helping. We say it's love, protection, or just wanting the best. But underneath, codependency often looks like playing God, trying to save others from pain so we don't have to feel it ourselve... more

So many of us confuse codependency with love—believing that fixing, managing, or rescuing others is the way to feel safe and connected. But what if that "care" is really control in disguise?

  • Growing Together

    A friend sent me this podcast YEARS ago, however, only in the last year have I actually started listening to it. My husband and I started listening to the connected life a couple weeks after we got married and it has been a game changer. I love how relatable Justin and Abi are and their ability to put into words the thoughts and feelings that can live locked up inside of us. One of our favorite ways to grow as a couple is to listen to this podcast together and pause it to talk about when somethi... more

  • Relational Intelligence

    This podcast is brilliant for laying out your feelings in an honest yet empathetic way! In short, this is a TRUE gem šŸ’Ž šŸ’ŽšŸ’ŽšŸ’ŽšŸ’ŽšŸ’Ž

    Listening to today’s podcast episode reinforced my re-parenting aspects in a very necessary way. Rather than exploding to people and subsequently apologizing for the behavior, I catch myself earlier than usual and I narrate my feelings.😳😳 I no longer explain myself rather I inform instead; there’s a difference and lastly, no is a complete sentence.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

347: Why Success Nearly Broke Me
Q: What are the things about life that you had to accept in order to engage sobriety?
Accepting the reality of pain as part of life, along with the need for trust and surrender in difficult times.
338: Hormones: The Relationship Plot Twist
Q: What would be some suggestions that you have for men in how they can be supportive without being doormats?
Men should focus on having conversations outside of heated moments to establish support and understanding during hormonal times, and they need to be aware of how to communicate their own emotional experiences.
308: Body Based Healing
Q: How would you suggest that they know that they're disconnected from their body?
If they feel a lack of pleasure, relaxation, or enjoyment in their body, it's a sign of disconnection. Another indicator is not being aware of physical sensations before reactions, leading to explosive emotions.
291: I Hate These Emotions!
Q: How could we identify an intolerable emotion inside of us?
It's often an emotion that we find ourselves pulling out of as quickly as possible, often leading to coping mechanisms that avoid the feeling.
