What does codependency really look like—and how do you know if you’re stuck in it?

In this episode of Strategies for Living, David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian break down the often-misunderstood concept of codependency, moving beyond buzzwords to reveal the real-life behaviors that quietly shape our relationships.

From people-pleasing and fear of rejection to difficulty setting boundaries and losing your sense of self, they explore how codependency develops—and how it can keep you disconnected from your own identity. You’ll also learn the difference between unhealthy dependency and healthy interdependence, and why true love never requires you to disappear.

✨ If you’ve ever struggled with over-giving, avoiding conflict, or defining yourself through others, this episode offers insight, clarity, and a path back to yourself.
