Healing Our Relationships: From Codependency to Authenticity

Welcome back to Healing Our Relationships. I’m Marisa, Healer and Transformation Guide.  In our first episode, we talked about noticing the ways we abandon ourselves to feel loved, safe, or chosen. But awareness alone can leave us wondering… Why do I keep doing this, even when I know better? In this episode, I want to help you understand why codependency runs so deep. We’ll explore how these patterns don’t just live in our minds — they live in our bodies and our nervous systems. I’ll share how many of us learned, even as children, that our safety and worth depended on keeping...

Healing Our Relationships: From Codependency to Authenticity

Welcome back to Healing Our Relationships. I’m Marisa, Healer and Transformation Guide.  One of the biggest questions I hear from people on the journey of codependency recovery is this: “How do I know if I’m being loving… or if I’m being codependent?” Because when you’re healing from codependency, it can feel confusing to tell the difference between true caring and patterns of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, or over-giving. In this episode, I’m diving deep into how to recognize when your caring is coming from fear, obligation, or anxiety — versus when it’s rooted...

Healing Our Relationships: From Codependency to Authenticity

Welcome to the first episode of Healing Our Relationships. I’m Marisa, Healer and Transformation Guide.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in relationships… like you’re constantly saying yes when you mean no, staying silent to avoid conflict, or feeling invisible even with the people you love most… you’re not alone. Today, I want to help you begin to understand what codependency really is. Not just the clinical definitions — but the deeper truth: that codependency isn’t who you are. It’s something you learned to do to stay safe. In this episode, I’m...

Welcome to Healing Our Relationships.

I’m Marisa. I’m a Healer and Transformation Guide, and someone who’s spent years untangling my own patterns of addictions and codependency — and helping others do the same.

Join me each week on Healing Our Relationships as I guide you through understanding codependency, reconnecting with your authentic self, and creating relationships rooted in truth.

Codependency often sounds clinical, as though it’s only a problem for people in chaotic relationships or recovering from addiction. But it’s subtler and far more pervasive than that.

Codependency is what happens every time we abandon ourselves to avoid conflict, rejection, or loss.

It’s in the way we swallow words that tremble to be spoken.
It’s in the quick, polite yes when everything in our body screams no.
It’s in the silence we keep because we’re afraid of being misunderstood.
It’s in the way we dim our own light so someone else won’t feel small.

These are not failures. They’re survival strategies.
Brilliant adaptations we created to stay safe.

But survival is not the same as living.
And at some point, the strategies that kept us safe become the very cages that keep us disconnected from our truth.

Healing Our Relationships is a space to explore all of this with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Together, we’ll talk about how these patterns show up in real life. We’ll learn how to come back to ourselves, even in the middle of messy relationships. And we’ll discover practices for building connection that doesn’t cost us our own wholeness.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in the name of love… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep living that way.

Join me as we begin the journey — back home to ourselves.
