42. Codependency = Self Abandonment In Disguise


Listen Later

Most of us weren’t taught the difference between love and codependency. We were taught to pour ourselves out, keep the peace, and call it connection. But what if the “ride or die” version of love you learned is really just self-abandonment in disguise?

In this episode Emily discusses 4 signs that show you’re struggling with codependency—even if you think you’re just being loyal, supportive, or a “good partner.”

We’ll talk about:

  • Why you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions (And how that turns you into an emotional sponge, not a partner.)
  • How “fixing” broken people is draining your life force (It’s not your job to be their savior.)
  • When you realize you don’t even know what you want anymore (And how to finally start putting your own desires back on the map.)
  • How you shrink yourself to keep the peace (Spoiler: peace that costs your voice is still war.)

If you’ve ever lost yourself in love—or called codependency your personality—this episode is your wake-up call. No shame, just truth that should light a fire under your a$$.
