Just because you have a unique pattern that you're enacting doesn't mean that it can't be broken.
Ever felt like you're living a double life, hiding your true self even from yourself?

Growing up in an environment where problems are swept under the rug and appearances are everything, many of us learn to suppress our truths and adopt a chameleon-like existence.

She emphasizes the importance of finding one's true identity and reclaiming personal power. If you've ever doubted your own reality or felt trapped in a cycle of pretending, this episode is a must-listen. Heidi's compassionate yet straightforward approach provides a roadmap for anyone looking to overcome codependency and live authentically.
