Interdependent and Codependent Relationships - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep 40
Nov 23, 2022Co-dependency is a pretty big buzzword, but do you really know what it means to be codependent?
We’re letting it all flow in this episode and talking about codependency, interdependency, and the difference between the two.
We’re diving into what the common characteristics of a codependent relationship are, how to tell if you might be in one, and what you can do to empower yourself out of it.
We’re also sharing why we don’t recommend hitting rock bottom in your relationship, and why codependency often translates to other areas of your life outside of your intimate partner relationship.
If you think you might be codependent, or you just want the low-down on what that even means, this is an episode you’ll want to check out!
