Two years later, Danielle and Adam’s marriage is back on track, and their podcast Marriage and Martinis has over two million downloads. Fans of the popular podcast (and hilarious Instagram account) include actors Jennifer Garner, Jamie Lynn Siegler, and Katherine Heigel.

Taneshia Johnson is an associate clinical social worker, self-care coach, and first-time author of the book entitled When Depression And Anxiety Have A Voice.  She specializes in emotional self-care as well as codependency.  Taneshia believes self-awareness can help everyone define who they are and what they need in life in order to have joy and peace.

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.
