In Episode 34 of Too Light Too Dark, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Michaud for a powerful conversation about co-dependency, addiction, recovery, and the impact these patterns have on our relationships.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in addiction and codependency recovery, Dr. Sarah shares both professional insights and personal lessons from her own journey. We explore why co-dependent behaviours develop, how they can keep us trapped in unhealthy relationships, the connection between addiction and emotional dependency, and what genuine recovery looks like. Together, we discuss boundaries, self-awareness, responsibility, healing, and the path toward healthier, more authentic connections.

Whether you're navigating recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply trying to understand relationship dynamics more deeply, this episode offers practical wisdom and hope for lasting change.

Dr. Sarah Michaud is a clinical psychologist, author, and recovery advocate who has worked in the field of addiction and codependency for over three decades. She is the author of Co-Crazy: One Psychologist's Recovery from Codependency and Addiction and co-hosts the Leaving CrazyTown podcast and YouTube channel, where she explores recovery, relationships, emotional health, and personal growth.
