Sherry and Carla start by talking about what kind of podcasts they listen to, and Carla confesses her love for a good murder mystery. They take a Love Fix question from a listener that seems like she has the same issues in love, even while dating different men. Then, they welcome Codependency Recovery Coach Hailee Magee, who helps individuals of all ages break the people pleasing patterns, set empowered boundaries, and master the art of speaking their truth. Hailee shares why most people don’t set or stick with their boundaries, and what’s really going on under people's pleasing and codependency patterns, and how to begin starting to keep promises to yourself and gain confidence in saying that magical two letter word: “no”.
