The Hidden Cost of Caring Too Much: Breaking Free from High-Functioning Codependency Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you're doing so much for everyone in your life—managing relationships, fixing problems, carrying the emotional load—only to end up completely burned out? Today, I sit down with the incredible Terri Cole, psychotherapist and author of Boundary Boss, to uncover why so many of us fall into this cycle and, most importantly, how to break free.

You’ll walk away with actionable steps to start shifting your habits, nurture healthier relationships, and finally put yourself back on your priority list. Tune in for this and much more!

"You need to get in recovery. Because we need everything that you have to give to the world, and you're only going to be able to do it if you're not micromanaging a million other people." ~ Terri Cole

- Defining high-functioning codependency

- Recognizing codependent traits and behaviors
