Episode notes
Codependency
- Codependency involves over-giving, becoming a doormat, and having an excessive sense of responsibility.
- It leads to resentment, perfectionism, and prioritizing others' needs over one's own.
Selfish Giving & Forgiveness
- Giving is selfish because it benefits the giver by taking the focus off themselves and promoting selflessness.
- Forgiveness is also selfish because it brings peace to the forgiver, not necessarily to the forgiven.
Prioritize Self-Care
- Prioritize self-care by understanding your needs.
- This involves knowing what truly brings you joy and fulfillment, not just doing things for others' validation.
