This episode of Struggle Berry Crunch sheds light on my journey of overcoming high-functioning codependency and the profound lessons I learned. Journey with me as I share my experiences of becoming overly engrossed in others' issues, the chaos it brewed in my life, and how I navigated towards healthier relationships.

This phrase became my cornerstone, helping me understand the importance of focusing on personal growth while allowing others to learn from their experiences. We delve into the realms of responsibility and the fears we come across in our lives. This compelling audio clip not only offers lessons on overcoming codependency but also emphasizes the idea that your presence might be the best support you can provide.

This episode is about my journey, a journey that led me to understand how my inability to forgive myself was putting brakes on my life's growth and expansion.

Join me as I navigate through this personal journey, where I confront my negative self-beliefs, the ones that often made me interpret others' actions negatively. I'll share with you how these beliefs have been affecting my self-esteem, personal growth, and relationships. I'll also take you through an impactful coaching session that acted as the catalyst. But, the highlight is a brave step I took, a step towards self-forgiveness, a step that could inspire you to do the same. It's time for us, Struggleberries, to unleash the power of forgiveness and to experience the freedom it brings into our lives. Let's start this journey together.
