In this special Valentine's episode, I welcome back my wonderful wife, Kylie McBeath. Together we dive into the conversation of codependency and the role shame plays in relationships. We discuss our own journey and share insights on healing, integrating, and growing both in- and outside of relationship. We also introduce our new book, Liberated Love, which explores breaking free from codependent patterns and creating relational environments that celebrate mutual strength and liberation. Tune in to learn how to understand and heal codependent patterns and invitation to pre-order our book to dive even deeper in this transformative journey.
