If you’ve ever looked at your personal relationships and thought wow – there is a pattern of unhappy here - there has to be a better way… you are not alone! Love + belonging are fundamental human needs; it bonds us all and in the absence of it we can feel utterly broken. However, there is a sinister underbelly of co-dependency that is rife in our society + suffocates our closest relationships… an extensive + multifaceted issue that touches every human on the planet. Weaved into Disney stories, Hollywood movies + your favourite tv series - co-dependency is subliminally sold to us as that ‘spark’ or ‘caring’ for those you love - but when faced with the truth that we are each ultimately responsible for our own happiness a deep, rippling confusion that ruptures our reality can leave us reeling. I brought in relationship expert Natalie Anne Murray for an in-depth chat, unpacking what co-dependency really means, how it shows up in our relationships + in what way we can start to remedy this rampant issue. Natalie specialises in helping women to recover from dysfunctional childhood and adult relationships to truly experience deep, lasting transformation… she helps women realign with integrity + power to authentically feel at peace with being true to themselves. As someone who identifies as a recovering people-pleaser, Natalie shares with us her co-dependency wakeup call + unpacks how childhood conditioning + ‘good girl manners’ contribute to the narrative we must ‘be nice’ in order to be loved. We also discuss the distinction between kindness, acts of service + co-dependent behaviour, plus she illuminates that this is not a linear process (like all deep personal development work) with support + emotional co-regulation we can cultivate a beautiful connection with our loved ones that is free of reactive triggers.
