You’re high-functioning, successful, the friend everyone can count on. But somewhere along the way, you stopped being a person and became a support system. And the scariest part? Everyone thinks you’re doing great.

In this episode, we’re breaking down 10 subtle signs that you’re not just caring, you’re codependent. From being unable to make decisions without checking in, to monitoring everyone’s mood and adjusting accordingly, to resenting the people you’re constantly helping.

What You’ll Learn:

* The real difference between caring and codependency

* Why you feel anxious when things are calm

* How to stop being everyone’s emotional translator

* Why you need to be needed (and what it’s costing you)

* The first steps to breaking these patterns

How do you choose yourself when the world is literally falling apart? How do you protect your peace when the news cycle is relentless and everyone needs something from you?

This week, I’m getting real about what it actually means to establish a nourishing relationship with yourself in the middle of chaos. Not after things calm down. Not when you have more time. Right now. In the mess.

Because the world isn’t going to stop being heavy. And you can’t wait for permission that’s never coming.
