What does codependence cost us emotionally, physically, and spiritually? In this episode, we explore the burnout, resentment, and identity loss that come with codependent patterns. We look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to understand how love and belonging can override safety, esteem, and growth — and introduce the concept of the high-functioning codependent. Featuring Runaway Bride as our pop culture example, we reflect on the iconic “eggs” scene as a metaphor for losing yourself in relationships.
