In this episode of Self-Worth Renaissance, we explore the dynamics of codependence in romantic relationships. Codependence often starts with the desire to care for a partner but can lead to unhealthy patterns where one’s identity and self-worth become tied to the relationship.

Join us as we discuss the signs of codependence, its root causes, and how it impacts both partners. We’ll share practical steps to break free from these patterns, including setting boundaries, cultivating self-worth, and fostering balanced, fulfilling relationships.

If you’ve ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships or struggle to find balance, this episode is for you. Let’s embark on a journey towards healthier connections and self-empowerment.
