In this episode, we’re exploring the world of high-functioning codependency with our guest, Terri Cole. This isn't your typical chat about codependency; Terri's giving it a fresh spin, especially for those of us who juggle a million things and still find time to care a little too much about everyone else's problems.

Terri breaks down how high-functioning codependents — often the go-getters and perfectionists among us — end up sacrificing their own well-being. Sound familiar? We get into the nitty-gritty of societal norms, early family expectations, and how these can set the stage for burnout. But luckily, Terri has strategies to help us break free from these patterns and set healthy boundaries.

Terri shares how to foster real connections without feeling like you have to manage everyone else's life. If you’re ready to transform your relationships and reclaim your personal freedom, you won’t want to miss this chat.

• The importance of setting boundaries and recognizing unhealthy patterns in relationships.
