EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about the difference between codependency and being codependent. In my previous podcast on relationships (ep 255), I talked about how to handle changing relationships, or how there may be moments when you must end a relationship and just walk away. For this podcast, I want to talk about a big concept that many people have heard of, but can be one of the hardest things to recognize in ourselves and others: codependency.
