Healing Our Relationships: From Codependency to Authenticity
Why do we keep abandoning ourselves in the name of love?
Why do we say yes when we mean no, swallow words that ache to be spoken, or feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy — even at the cost of our own peace?
Healing Our Relationships is a podcast for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in the patterns of codependency and wondered if there’s another way.
I’m Marisa — healer, transformation guide, and someone who’s walked my own long road from self-abandonment to self-trust.
In this space, I come as a teacher, guide, and fellow traveler. Together, we’ll explore:
What codependency really is — beyond the clinical definitions and clichés
How these patterns begin in childhood and live in our nervous systems
How to start the healing journey with compassion rather than shame
Tools for grounding, boundaries, and somatic awareness
Practices for reconnecting to your body, your truth, and your spirit
The intersection of spirituality and emotional healing
How to move from survival into real connection — first with yourself, and then with others
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are beneath the patterns that once kept you safe.
Alongside these episodes, I also hold a monthly Healing Our Relationships circle live on Zoom — a place for community, sharing, and deeper healing. You’ll find details and more resources on my HealSpace app, where I share guided meditations, teachings, and sacred tools to support your journey.
If you’re ready to understand why you do what you do — and how to come home to yourself — I invite you to join me.
Together, we’ll explore how to move from codependency to freedom, wholeness, and true connection.
