Many times, we don’t even realize that we are falling into a codependent and narcissistic relationship complex. On today’s show, I lead you through a 3-step process of how to become aware of this toxic cycle and heal it.

“You don’t have to be perfect at it, you just have to start small.” – Terri Cole
Thank you Terri! Wonderful info and I have started small after being totally thrown off with a 30+ year marriage gone wrong. I am not sure where it will take me, but I have always heard if you want change, you have to look within.
Thanks for your note and welcome to the tribe, Karen! I am so happy you’re on this journey with us.
