Not every relationship is meant to last forever. Friendships, partnerships, even family or work connections can shift. Sometimes the healthiest choice is to let them go.

474: From Empty Nest to New Beginnings

When our kids leave the nest, we’re left with a house that feels quieter, emptier, and sometimes unbearably still.

No one prepares us for this season of life, but it can also be an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, process...

Today, I’m talking about one of my absolute favorite topics…codependency. I’ve lived this, I’ve healed from it, and today I’m sharing my personal story of what that journey looked like for me.    This conversation was inspired by a thoughtful question from one of our listeners who asked how to handle the hurt and pain that can come from our own codependent behaviors in relationships.    Together, we explore what codependency really is, how it often shows up unconsciously, and why it can be so manipulative without us even realizing it. I’ll walk you...
