To think about myself is my job and therefore, when I show up in relationship with other people, I'm not expecting them to define me.
Imagine growing up with a mentally ill mother and losing your father at a young age. That's the backdrop of Kristina Dennis's life, a story she shares with raw honesty on this episode of The Broke Girl Society podcast. With nearly 25 years of recovery under her belt, Kristina, now a dedicated life coach, opens up about her journey from the depths of codependency and alcoholism to a life of healing and self-discovery.
Kristina reveals how childhood trauma led her to develop codependent behaviors, always putting others' needs ahead of her own and playing the role of a 'fixer'. This pattern not only affected her relationships but also fueled her alcohol addiction. It was only through an employee assistance program and outpatient treatment that she began to understand the damaging cycle she was in. In this candid conversation, Kristina talks about the often-overlooked link between codependency and addiction.
She shares how society sometimes celebrates these behaviors, making them hard to recognize as problematic. Kristina emphasizes the importance of self-care in recovery, discussing how setting boundaries and scheduling time for herself were crucial steps in her healing process. The episode also highlights the benefits of working with a life coach. Kristina explains how she now helps other women navigate their own recovery journeys, offering support and practical advice tailored to individual needs.
Her mission is clear: to break the stigma surrounding codependency and addiction, empowering women to seek the help they need without fear of judgment. If you're dealing with similar struggles or know someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, real-life experiences, and actionable insights. Tune in to hear Kristina's inspiring story and learn how you too can overcome codependency and build a healthier, more balanced life.
