Tackling Codependency, Male Sexual Assault, Weight Issues, and Recovery Wisdom

Sometimes I think there's more judgment around that, because people are like you should be able to walk away.
What happens when you mix raw honesty with tough conversations? You get an episode that's both eye-opening and heartwarming. In this edition of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', host Ashley Loeb Blassingame dives into the heavy topics discussed in episodes 16 and 17 with guests Leo Martinez and Nicole Ory. The trio doesn't shy away from addressing codependency, sexual assault against men, struggles with weight, and practical advice for recovery.
Ashley starts by reflecting on how her own name has evolved over time, segueing into a discussion on codependency in relationships. Nicole opens up about her journey through Codependents Anonymous and the impact of having a sponsor. This leads to a broader conversation on domestic violence and the role codependency plays in such relationships. Leo's story is both harrowing and inspiring as he talks about surviving sexual assault and becoming a voice for male survivors.
Ashley and Leo discuss the societal challenges male survivors face and the need for better support systems. The episode wraps up with a candid discussion on compulsive eating, exercise, and the crucial role of self-care in recovery. Ashley highlights the importance of communities like Overeaters Anonymous and encourages listeners to find their own 'winners' in recovery.
This episode is a safe space where courageous stories are shared, offering both inspiration and practical advice for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction and recovery.
