Have you ever put a major life decision on pause because you were terrified of how someone else would react?

In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my recent transition to move in with my boyfriend, and the exact moment I realized my hesitation was actually my own codependency showing up. I am stripping away the clinical textbook definitions and looking at what codependency actually feels like in everyday, highly functional life.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• The practical definition: Why codependency isn't just "being needy". It's constantly checking the emotional weather forecast of the room before deciding what you are allowed to want.
• The nervous system connection: How reading the room and "over-functioning" for others (especially our adult children) is a learned survival mechanism.
• The filter phrase: How to use the phrase "I am OK if you are OK" to spot codependency in your life.
• The alignment blueprint: 4 concrete steps to navigate the nervous system discomfort of choosing your own next chapter.
