149. An Unexpected Conversation on Independence vs. Codependency

Published: March 24, 2022, 4 a.m.

Stemming from the episode last week about codependency, this week I wanted to talk about a related topic. Especially for those concerned with codependency, it can be really easy to go to the other side of the spectrum and become hyper-independent. So, that\u2019s what I\u2019m discussing in this episode.

It\u2019s really important to me that I communicate that it\u2019s okay to lean on your loved ones for support and help. Doing so doesn\u2019t equate to codependency, and I know that sometimes it can be confusing to navigate that. It\u2019s really easy to demonize dependency in general when you\u2019re in this position, but it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.

Here\u2019s what I dig into on this episode:

  • Codependency vs. Interdependence
  • Accepting Support from Loved Ones\xa0

It\u2019s my hope that this episode reframes the way that you look at independence, dependence on others, and how they relate to codependency. Striking the right balance can feel impossible, but I promise you that there\u2019s a nice in-between where you can settle in and get amazing support at the same time.
