Sherry talks about her love for life in Florida, enjoying the sunny days and vibrant energy. Then, she and Carla take a Love Fix question about how to spot signs of codependency early in dating to avoid getting stuck in such relationships. They then introduce Love Fix guest Marshall Burtcher, a codependency healing expert who helps people pleasers, perfectionists, and those struggling with codependency. Marshall's approach, developed after his own 30-year struggle, focuses on shifting from self-fixing to self-love, enabling fulfilling relationships and inner peace. He guides people trapped in codependency to break free from these patterns and find purposeful, loving connections in their lives.
