Ever felt like you're constantly putting others' needs before your own, to the point of neglecting yourself?

They discuss how codependents struggle to recognize their own needs, feeling responsible for saving others while being manipulated and victimized.
This conversation is not just about identifying the problem but also about finding solutions. Nancy emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-care as essential tools for breaking free from the cycle of emotional abuse and addiction. You'll hear about practical strategies for healing, including setting boundaries and prioritizing your well-being. Nancy's experience as a former drug and alcohol counselor adds another layer of depth to the discussion, highlighting the link between codependency and addiction.

The episode is both informative and deeply personal, offering a blend of expert advice and heartfelt stories. It ends with a powerful call to action: prioritize your self-care and embark on your healing journey.
