You might have seen her on an interview last week with Glennon Doyle- but here they are- and The Two Jess(es) get to talk to her too! One of the most exciting interviews and conversations for these two self-professed self-help junkies, the leading pioneer of the self-help movement, Melody Beattie is here to talk about the ever confusing and all consuming practice of codependence. JessB declares that she doesn't understand what codependency really truly looks like or means- and Melody assures her, no one does. However, she DOES break it down to the practice of continually loving others before loving ourselves.
This conversation is a true honor, as they unpack the additional need for a chapter on trauma to be included in Melody's new edition, and reflect on the importance of true love- for one's self, as being the answer to solving the epidemic of codependence.
