This week I am talking about the messy and complicated journey of healing codependency inside of our immediate family relationships. Especially our parents! Decades of patterns, trauma, and life experience mold the way we relate to our parents and our familial relationships. Trying to set new boundaries or step into the authenticity of who you are with people who have known you and related to you in a certain way your entire life can be the most confusing, challenging, and fearful changes to make.
If you are trying to figure out how to feel safe being yourself, say no after 30 years of saying yes, create more space between yourself and those you love, or learn how to hold who you truly are within the expectations of others, let this episode inspire you to release guilt, shame, and emotional responsibility. I hope it will inspire you and give you the courage to allow others to hold their own reactions, disappointments, and pain — while learning to hold yourself with love.
Receive some tools, inspiration and hear a little of my own story of growing up in an Italian, Catholic, emotionally intense and boundaryless environment and how I found the courage to set boundaries and change family dynamics that had gone on for decades.

A Compassionate Guide To Understanding The Patterns That Once Protected You
Whether you know the C-word, "Codependency,"and feel ready for this book, or the word itself makes you recoil from it like a hot flame, I promise this journey will surprise you, and hopefully inspire you to pass it on to a friend. Codependency is often misunderstood. It is not just people-pleasing or insecurity, it lives on a spectrum that almost everyone dances on. It shows up in the one who over-gives and the one who withdraws, in the perfectionist, the caretaker, the person who stays guarded, and the one who has spent years abandoning themselves to keep the peace. If you have ever related to others from a place of fear rather than authenticity, this book was written for you. Inspired by the author's beloved Healing Our Relationships podcast, this workbook draws from eighteen years of lived spiritual exploration. The workbook does not ask you to see yourself as broken, or to become someone better, but simply to remember and return to the authentic truth of who you already are. Through a lens of compassionate curiosity you will explore five core areas of codependent patterns, patterns many of us adapted to survive when our needs, feelings, and truth felt unsafe to express. Each area is explored through a five-step inquiry process that reveals the pattern, honors its origin, acknowledges the cost, and re-orients you towards new possibilities. Then, it brings it all into the practice of daily life. This is where the mind stops running old patterns on autopilot, the nervous system begins to heal, and you reclaim the power of choice. You are not here to judge yourself or label yourself as being codependent. You are here to honor what once protected you and to reclaim the parts of yourself that got lost along the way. If you have spent years abandoning yourself, shape-shifting for others, staying walled off or emotionally unavailable, or repeating painful relationship patterns, this is your invitation back to the most important relationship of all- the one you have with yourself.
