Why do we give ourselves away in the name of love? Why do we hide our truth to keep the peace, or shape-shift into what others need us to be even when it costs us our authenticity? Healing Our Relationships is a podcast that inspires you to remember who you are beneath the patterns of fear, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment. It's an invitation to reclaim your voice, your truth, and your power to relate to others from a place of love instead of survival. It is an invitation to explore yourself with compassionate curiosity and be inspired to step into your authenticity. I'm Marisa La Fata, Insight Timer Meditation Teacher, Transformation Guide and fellow traveler on this path of recovery and awakening. With over 17 years of experience inside of my own commitment to my healing and guiding others home to themselves, I help you begin to understand what codependency really is. Not just the clinical definitions, but the deeper truth: that codependency isn't who you are. It's something you learned to do to stay safe. Weaving together the psychology of codependency, addiction and codependency recovery, and Toltec Wisdom (The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz), to help you understand not just what you do, but why you do it and how to change it with compassion. Each episode explores the deeper layers of relational healing from projection, boundaries, control patterns to surrender, truth-telling, and the courage to be fully seen. You'll learn to identify the unconscious agreements that keep you small and how to transform them into freedom, self-trust, and authentic connection. This isn't just about healing your relationships to others. It is about healing the most important relationship you will ever have... the one with yourself. Alongside the podcast, I host a monthly Healing Our Relationships Circle a live online gathering on Zoom where we deepen these teachings in community. You can find details, courses, and meditations inside my HealSpace app, a sacred space for integration and daily practice. If you're ready to stop abandoning yourself and step into the person you ache to be, you are in the right place. Together, we'll explore what it means to live from authenticity, courage, and love.
