Ever found yourself getting upset when someone doesn’t meet your expectations—even when they never agreed to them in the first place? That’s the sneaky grip of codependency. In this episode, we break down how unspoken needs, fantasy relationships, and deep-seated insecurities shape our interactions. From the host-parasite dynamic to the fear of being alone, we explore how codependency manifests and why so many of us fall into its trap. More importantly, we uncover the key to breaking free: learning to meet our own needs. Because when you stop needing someone to complete you, you can finally experience real connection.
