Codependency is a common behavioral condition that is greatly misunderstood. Join Rachel DiPaola (Yes, she’s our host’s mom!) as she shares her unique and fascinating childhood experiences that led to her codependency, how the the condition has influenced and shaped her life and the tools she uses to not only cope, but thrive while living with it. Having studied, taken classes and been in therapy around this mental health issue, Rachel self describes it as “Putting others’ needs before my own with no attention to boundaries as well as allowing other people’s moods to control my emotions.” It’s not all negative though! Rachel reveals the light and the dark side of being codependent.
