About this episode

Check out full book list post on Substack here: My go-to healing book list for winter

Thank you so much, everyone, for letting me walk alongside you this season.

I have a quick favor to ask as we close out this season: If the podcast has supported you in any way it would mean the world to me if you would take just a moment to leave an honest rating or review on the podcast, wherever you listen. To make it easy, I’ll leave the link for you to leave a rating or a review below!

When you rate and review the podcast it helps more people find the podcast who are looking to join and have these kinds of conversations around healing codependency and the mother wound. Your voice makes a huge impact, and I am so grateful to receive your support. Thank you.

I hope you all have a restful and nourishing winter, and hopefully I’ll see you in the Codependency Alchemy membership!
