Hello again, Lovebugs! Today's episode features Lisa Romano, a Narcissistic Abuse & Codependency Expert, as well as Life Coach and Bestselling Author who helps people renegotiate their perception and relationship with self and others. The big question we ask here is, "how do I really feel about myself inside relationships?"

Some highlight from the conversation:

"Codependency is a problem with identity - you don't know who you are, you don't feel good enough so you're seeking validation, and you're trying to get approval thinking, 'if I get approval from somebody outside of me, that means I'm enough.'"

"When you're codependent you feel like you need permission to feel your feelings."

"Once I was able to see, 'it's not me, it's my programming', I was able to dis-identify from the shame of not feeling good enough."
