Ep. 45 Dating in My 40s: Break Ups, Break Downs, and Breaking the Codependency Cycle

In this episode of Heidi’s Lane, I take a heartfelt and candid look at the struggles and growth that come with relationships and dating in my 40s. Reflecting on my personal experiences, I share the challenges of balancing being a nurturer, provider, and trying to find the right partner. I discuss the importance of recognizing our unhealed wounds, learning from past relationships, and the necessity of being true to ourselves. This episode is a raw, honest exploration of the lessons life and love have personally taught me, and a reminder that it's okay to feel, grieve, and ultimately grow from our experiences.
