Podcasts about codependence

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm only as happy as my least happy child"? This seemingly loving sentiment actually reveals a profound codependent belief that makes us responsible for others' emotions while neglecting our own healing journey. As I discovered with my own family, no amount of fixing or controlling could make my unhappy child happy—that was his journey to walk. Only when I released my grip on controlling outcomes and turned inward did things begin to transform.Perfectionism, helping behaviors, and our need to "fix" others often masquerade as positive traits—but they're actually sneaky forms of codependency that keep us trapped in cycles of control. When we obsess over making everything perfect or rush to save others from their emotions, we're not being helpful—we're attempting to manage our own discomfort and create safety through control.The 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a spiritual path out of these patterns. Through this process, we replace the drive to fix others with self-compassion, embrace new beliefs about our inherent worthiness, and shift our lens from fear to love.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

What do you even call a divorce anniversary? Two years after the end of my marriage, I find myself reflecting—not on celebration, but on growth, healing, and the lessons heartbreak leaves behind. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the three truths divorce taught me about co-dependency and how I'm learning to live and love differently. Whether you're walking through the rubble of a relationship, navigating the lonely spaces of divorce, or stepping into love again with a hopeful but shaky heart, these lessons are for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why self-regulation must come before co-regulation and the practical ways you can ground yourself before leaning on someone else. The surprising difference between being alone and being lonely, and how solitude can actually become sacred. How boundaries create freedom, why they aren't rejection, but an invitation to authentic love. This Episode Is For You If… You've struggled with co-dependency or shame in relationships. You're navigating divorce, separation, or stepping into new love after loss. You want to stop abandoning yourself in relationships and learn how to show up fully as you.   Resources & Next Steps: Connect with me on Instagram @drzoeshaw for daily encouragement.

I would love to hear from you. What did you think about this episode? Do you have any questions?The foundation of every meaningful human connection lies in our fundamental needs for love and belonging. But have you ever wondered why you seek connection differently than others around you? Why some relationships feel effortless while others seem constantly challenging?In this revealing episode, Dr. Dar Hawks uncovers how your unique relationship blueprint determines the way you experience love and belonging. We all have five primary relationship needs – freedom, fun, power, safety/survival, and love/belonging – but one typically dominates our interaction style and expectations.Freedom-dominant individuals seek connections that respect their independence, while fun-centered people experience belonging through shared joy and playfulness. Those driven by power find fulfillment when their contributions are acknowledged, safety-oriented people prioritize trust and stability, and love/belonging-focused individuals thrive on deep emotional connection and unconditional acceptance.Dr. Hawks doesn't shy away from exploring the shadow side of our connection needs. When love and belonging go unfulfilled, we can develop unhealthy patterns – codependency, people-pleasing, fear-based attachment, and emotional manipulation. Particularly for empathetic, compassionate people, the tendency to sacrifice personal needs and boundaries in relationships can lead to resentment and burnout.The psychological impacts of unmet belonging needs extend far beyond temporary discomfort. Loneliness, social anxiety, depression, trust issues, and diminished self-worth can take root, affecting not just our relationships but our entire wellbeing.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore one of the most important and tender parts of the Soul Recovery journey—making peace with painful memories. When we hold on to resentment, we keep ourselves tied to the very moments that wounded us, replaying them again and again in our minds and bodies. True freedom comes not from erasing the past or pretending it didn't happen, but from meeting those memories with compassion, grace, and forgiveness—first for ourselves, and then, when we're ready, for others. As I continue to work on my own memoir, I've been revisiting some of the most difficult years of my life, and it has reminded me that every story, even the painful ones, can be seen through a new lens when we invite in spiritual awakening and Soul Recovery. This is not about minimizing the harm or excusing others—it's about choosing to release the grip of resentment so we can live fully in the present, whole and authentic. Join me as we talk honestly about how to move from grievance to peace, and how the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a path to let go of what was and step into the freedom of who you truly are.I mention Mattie who is helping me in writing this book as a collaborator.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, I'm sharing something special with the whole Recover Your Soul community — an episode that originally aired on the Bonus Podcast back in June. The Bonus Podcast is where we take a deeper dive into Soul Recovery, with spiritual book studies, guest conversations, and real-life reflections inspired by Al-Anon, metaphysics, and the healing journey within. If you've never tuned in, I wanted you to experience the richness of these episodes for yourself — and if you love it, you can join us as a free or paid member on Patreon, or as an Apple Podcast subscriber, where there are over 200 bonus episodes waiting for you.In this episode, we explore “Love and Surrender” — a powerful Al-Anon reading that speaks to the moment we finally release the day-to-day pain and guilt of trying to fix someone else's life. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we talk about letting go of the illusion of control, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing our own healing over managing another person's journey. Whether it's with a child, spouse, or someone else you love, this is about opening our hearts to unconditional love — the kind that allows others to have their own experiences, while we stay grounded in our own spiritual connection and well-being.This is the work of Soul Recovery: moving from enmeshment and exhaustion into compassion, clarity, and freedom. I hope you'll listen, let it sink in, and fThe Soul Recovery FREE Zoom Support Group will meet on September 8th due to Labor Day, and there is still time to register for the upcoming in-person retreat in Asheville NC September 13-14th.

Love addiction is a set of symptoms most often associated with romantic relationships. But these symptoms can also show up in our relationship with work, which might look like this: seeking unconditional positive regard (ie earning validation and worthiness from the work we're doing, the company that employs us, the person who manages us), while we overvalue this company or person (and undervalue ourselves and the contribution we are making at work), all while self-neglecting as we overfunction in order to get that external validation. And all of this leads to exhaustion, health issues, and ultimately burnout.  In this episode, Jodi talks with burnout and productivity specialist, Tamu Thomas, author of Women Who Work Too Much, about toxic productivity, ambition and the cultural conditioning that shapes us. Tamu shares her personal experience with overfunctioning and how this led to a necessary life change; and why women often end up being the "selfless caretakers", how this leads us into a cycle of toxic productivity, and how we can change that...plus much more!

What if your worth had nothing to do with your productivity, your pager, or your sacrifice? In the final episode of our Codependence series, we're diving deep into one of the most freeing truths you can learn as a physician (or frankly, as a human): you are more than your usefulness. Many of us in medicine — especially women and those raised in high-demand families — have been praised for being martyrs. We've built entire identities around being the helper, the achiever, the rock. But at what cost? In this conversation, we explore: ✨ The Hidden Trap of the “Martyr” Identity – Why over-functioning feels rewarding… until it doesn't. ✨ How Codependence Distorts Your Sense of Self – And how to reclaim the YOU beneath the role. ✨ Differentiation: The Key to Freedom – Staying emotionally connected without losing yourself. ✨ Practical Steps to Rebuild Your Identity – From inner child work and journaling to creative expression and supportive relationships. ✨ The Worthiness Reframe You Need to Hear – You are not here to be everything to everyone. You are here to be fully yourself. This episode is packed with truth bombs, gentle challenges, and actionable tools to help you shift from people-pleasing and self-sacrifice into authenticity, agency, and healing — for yourself and the people you serve.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week's episode, I sit with a heartfelt question from our community—how do we hold someone accountable without slipping into control and codependence?—and we look honestly at what true support really is, including whether asking a spouse to “prove” sobriety crosses a line; from a Soul Recovery perspective, we remember that we are powerless over other people and powerful within ourselves, so instead of policing or shaming, we practice loving detachment, clear boundaries, and compassionate curiosity—asking, “What would truly support you?” while staying anchored in our own healing. The hard truth is we cannot make anyone recover, and when we try to manage their journey it often comes from our own fear and wounds—which means it's an invitation back to our inner work. This episode begins a new two-part experiment, and on Friday's Bonus podcast by subscription, I'll take you deeper, applying the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process to dig deeper in the 'how to' on this topic.Listen to the Bonus Friday Podcast as an Apple Podcast subscriber or for FREE the first week as a Free Patreon Member- this is a great way to support the Recover Your Soul Community AND get accessWant to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

Jarek Berga - August 10th 2025 This week we paused our King and His Kingdom series for a timely message on avoiding the two ditches that can derail our walk with Jesus—independence and codependence. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and Galatians 6, we're challenged to embrace interdependence: owning our personal load while helping bear one another's burdens in Christ. Along the way, Pastor Jarek shares personal stories, practical confessions, and commitments that foster a healthy, rooted community.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel So many of us have spent our lives trying to earn love, approval, and belonging by shape-shifting into what we think others need us to be. We become people-pleasers, fixers, and emotional caretakers—losing ourselves in the process. In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore what it really means to break free from codependency and control, and how the Soul Recovery process helps us come back to our true, authentic selves. You'll learn how to recognize the subtle ways we abandon ourselves in an attempt to be accepted, and how releasing these old patterns allows for deeper peace, healthier boundaries, and more fulfilling relationships. This isn't about cutting people off or rejecting connection—it's about reclaiming your energy, staying in your body, and honoring your own truth without needing to fix or manage anyone else. Soul Recovery teaches us that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you already are. If you're ready to stop shape-shifting and start showing up as the real you, this episode offers encouragement, tools, and a path toward spiritual freedom.Want to join the Recovery Your Soul community?

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely drained from trying to hold everything, and everyone together I get it, I was once there too. The truth is, constantly fixing, managing, and rescuing those around us doesn't bring peace... it creates more suffering. In this episode, I share what I've learned on my own Soul Recovery path about how the compulsion to help and control stems from old patterns, and how letting go has been the greatest act of love—not just for myself, but for those I care about.We dive into the deeper truth that your healing begins the moment you stop turning your energy outward and begin focusing inward. We explore what it means to detach with love, to let others walk their own journey, and to reclaim your energy for your own transformation.Soul Recovery isn't about abandoning others—it's about releasing the illusion that their healing is your responsibility. It's about becoming a compassionate presence without losing yourself.You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to hold it all together. Come back to your center. Heal yourself.

In recovery, we examine the past and how it shaped us. We look at what we learned from our family of origin about life and relationships; plus the cultural messages that influenced us along the way (and may continue to do so). Storytelling can be a powerful tool in recovery, because as we look at the past we uncover memories that lead to feelings and aha moments; we connect dots that help us make sense of what has happened to us, and how it all led us here today. In this episode, Jodi shares three stories that have been on her mind and how these stories relate to her own recovery.

In this bold and eye-opening spiritual talk, Rev. Lee Wolak, author of The Power in You, exposes the hidden spiritual cost of codependence. Far from being love, codependence is a subtle form of self-abandonment that disconnects us from our truth and inner power. Learn how prioritizing others' needs over your own authentic expression is a betrayal of the divine within. This talk offers deep insight into reclaiming your spiritual wholeness, choosing authenticity over approval, and living in alignment with your highest self.
