Codependency refers to a mental, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual reliance on a partner, friend, or family member. Codependency is not a clinical diagnosis or a formally categorized personality disorder on its own. Generally speaking, codependency incorporates aspects of attachment style patterns developed in early childhood, and it can also overlap with other personality disorders, including dependent personality disorder.
Codependency can come in all shapes and sizes and with varying levels of severity. Codependency refers to an imbalanced relationship pattern where one person assumes responsibility for meeting another person’s needs to the exclusion of acknowledging their own needs or feelings.

Don’t we want to know why we do what we do? People’s personalities are endlessly fascinating, but I also know it seems hard to get a handle on how we use personality knowledge to improve our lives. The Enneagram is a powerful personality framework that shows us why we feel, think, behave the way we do. Not just what we do, but the deep motivations of our personality. This week on the podcast, we are joined by Enneagram expert, Jenn Whitmer for a 3-part series all about the Enneagram, starting with part one: Understanding the Framework to Better Understand Yourself.

On this week's episode we have the honor of hearing the story of Army veteran and Paralympic champion, Melissa Stockwell. She takes us through her journey serving in the Army, losing her leg during deployment, starting a family, running a non-profit, writing a book, qualifying and competing in the Paralympics, and what it has meant to represent the USA in a different uniform.

Melissa likes to say she was born a patriot. She joined ROTC in college and was commissioned as an Army. In early 2004 she deployed to Iraq and on April 13,  2004 her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb and she became the first female to lose a limb in active combat. As a new above the knee amputee she was medically retired with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. She quickly adapted into a life of sports and went on to swim in the 2008 Beijing Paralympics before turning to the sport of triathlon in 2009. She is a 3x Paratriathlon World Champion and competed at the 2016 and 2021 Paralympics in the sport of triathlon. Melissa says one of the best days of her life was winning a bronze medal in the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Melissa is the co-founder of the Chicago based Dare2tri Paratriathlon club where she helps get other athletes with disabilities into the sport of triathlon. She currently travels the nation for her career as a motivational speaker, owns an orthotic and prosthetic company with her husband, is a triathlon coach and most importantly a mother of 2 young children. She hopes to continue her athletic career with dreams of becoming a 4x Paralympian and competing in Paris 2024.

On this week's episode, we are joined by Suzanne Vita Battinelli, founder and CEO of The U, a full-service, virtual health and wellness provider. We dive into the relationship between fitness and mindset, finding motivation within ourselves, pushing through discomfort, and setting realistic fitness goals.

In motion more often than not, Suzanne Vita is a leader, change maker and coach whose philosophy is heavily rooted in the concept of mind over matter. She’s guided by her belief that both the body and mind were designed to progress, even if moving forward requires taking a step back to reflect.

Through a combination of movement, mindfulness, and written and spoken word, Suzanne’s approach to empowerment directly addresses the barriers many of us have self-constructed to stand in our own way. Her work is insightful, progressive and, at times, uncomfortable, but the end result is an image in the mirror that reflects back the version of ourselves we always wanted to be.

While Suzanne’s ultimate love is communicating in a way that makes people stop and think, her day job involves being the founder and CEO of The U, a full-service, virtual health and wellness provider headquartered in Stamford, CT. Her brand’s Prescribed Fitness approach speaks directly to the way she encourages all of us to live our lives: with intention, strategy and plenty of opportunities for play.

On this week's episode we breakdown feminine burnout, how it affects our sex lives, and what we can do about it with Dr. Jordin Wiggins.

Dr. Jordin is a Naturopathic Doctor and Feminine Burnout & Intimacy Coach. She is the CEO of the Pleasure Collective, a coaching community for CEOs and founders who want to be as badass in the bedroom as they are in the boardroom. 

She is the author of The Pink Canary, an investigation into the hidden secret to optimal women’s wellness and podcast host of The Pleasure Principles.  She is a regular contributor to articles and TV, including Cityline, Cosmopolitan, and The Washington Post, advocating for women’s health and right to pleasure. 

Dr. Jordin gets it, because she was there too. A burnt out, divorced, owner of a 7 figure women's health clinic, feeling stuck and uninspired. Combining her years of medical and holistic knowledge with personal experience and exploration, she unlocked her desires, attracted her reality as a fulfilled CEO, mom, stepmom, doctor, friend, lover, and women’s wellness advocate. She believes that great sex is just the beginning - everything comes when you learn how to receive: better sex, better health, more wealth.
