When something bad happens to your partner, does it feel like it's happening to you, too? Are you compelled to fix what you see as the 'problems' in their life? Do you find areas in which they can improve to help them become 'better'? Do you feel like it is your job to prevent them from getting into bad situations? If you are nodding your head, you might be in a codependent relationship. In this episode, I break down what codependency is and give you powerful questions you can answer to gain clarity about your codependent behaviors (which is the first step to healing).

Are you ever surprised by your reactions or feelings? Does it ever feel like you get hit by a bus of your own emotions, where you're left wondering what the hell was that about? If you have experienced this, you are not alone. Emotional reactions can seem kind of mysterious, and understanding our own emotional needs can be challenging. And becoming aware of your emotional needs allows you to communicate them and get them met. This leads to more fulfilling relationships, which is why today's episode is all about the steps you can take to uncover your emotional needs. I walk you through a process of understanding and discovering your emotional needs and suggest what you can do when you discover the unmet needs you have in your life right now.

Were you raised in a family with silent agreements? Were there topics you knew you could not discuss with your parental impactors? Did big fights or upsetting events happen only for everyone to wake up the following day and pretend they didn't? Or do you have unexpressed expectations for your partner, family, or friends and feel disappointed when they fail to meet them? Silent agreements or expectations are often dysfunctional, which is why, in this episode, I am breaking down the dangers of this behavior and where it comes from. I am also giving you questions to understand where you have silent agreements in your life so you can move to expressed or clean agreements.
