Codependency: Making Sense of It

Bella

Codependency: Making Sense of It is part of the Making Sense of It series — a codependency podcast for listeners stuck in people-pleasing cycles who want healthier boundaries. We own codependency, people-pleasing, enmeshment, rescuing, boundary scripts, guilt after saying no, and rebuilding a separate sense of self—without shaming care or replacing therapy. Episodes stay codependency-first and distinct from narcissistic-abuse or attachment deep lanes. Search Codependency: Making Sense of It on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for weekly episodes on boundaries, people-pleasing, and relationship patterns. Audio for this show is produced with AI assistance. Episodes are researched, scripted, and reviewed for accuracy before release. Topics include: Codependency patterns, boundary-setting, and detaching with love.
