Stop Doing Too Much & Reclaim Your Peace...

DR. MINDY PELZ
About this episode

Terri Cole explores how traditional codependency definitions fail to capture the experiences of many high-achieving individuals. Terri introduces the concept of high-functioning codependency, shedding light on behaviors like over-responsibility for others' problems and the resulting burnout. Terri and Mindy address the difficulty of relinquishing control, embracing self-discovery, and establishing boundaries, alongside recognizing the importance of letting loved ones be the heroes of their own stories. This episode is a call to action for women to reclaim their self-worth and pursue authentic, fulfilling lives by setting boundaries and prioritizing self-consideration over self-abandonment.
