Welcome to our two part series on codependency. Today is part one and we unpack the basics of codependency. What is it? What does it look like when it's in your life? What are some characteristics of codependency and SO MUCH MORE! Stacia shares her experience through discovering how she was codependent and her journey towards recovery. We also go deep into the cultural conditioning we grew up with that just further perpetuated dysfunctional views of relationships (Carrie and Big in Sex and the City, anyone??)

Even if you have no idea what codependency is you are going to get so much out of giving this a listen! And who knows, you may just learn something about yourself in the process. Part 2 will be coming at you next week, so stay tuned!
