Show Notes
Are you the one who always says yes? Who fixes, accommodates, anticipates, and quietly resents it later?
In this week’s episode, Tamsen sits down with psychotherapist and bestselling author Terri Cole to talk about the hidden habits of high -functioning codependents, especially in midlife, during perimenopause, or after a major life shift.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What high-functioning codependency actually looks like and why most women don’t recognize it
-How menopause can be a wake-up call for self-abandonment
-Why so many women feel emotionally drained in midlife and what to do about it
-How to unpack the patterns we learn in childhood that shape how we caretake and over-function
-The scripts and boundary tools to help you say no, protect your energy, and finally consider yourself
This is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they’re doing it all, but losing themselves in theprocess.
