Sooo you know that feeling your feelings it the key to changing your behavior, but you don't know where to start. It feels like going into the abyss. I have the solution for you... A HATE LIST.

So I made a video that said "stop telling your kids how their behavior makes you feel" and it got a lottttttt of pushback.

Listening is the #1 skill that transforms relationships in my opinion. Here I'll elaborate on what your role is when it comes to listening (whether that's with your own parents, in your relationship, and with your kids) and more specifics on how to do it. If you're a parent or a married man, guard your ego because I'm coming for it! Find more @CodependencyKate on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube

So I may have posted a controversial take on "meanness" and how to address it in parenting... and it triggered a LOT of people. I think these same people that were triggered by it would really benefit from how my take applies to their marriage. Listen and let me know!

This episode was such a big deal for me to have out on time. I have been blocked and blocked from a creative standpoint but after using BEND and (many) hate lists I got right back on track.

On this episode I cover a topic I am MOST passionate about- internalizing. Don't listen to this episode unless you're ready for some hard truths.... all said with love of course.

In this episode I talk about revelations I've had this week... specifically about the role of "enmeshment" in issues of estrangement. In summary, enmeshment is the heart of EVERYTHING relationship problems and I believe MOST people are enmeshed. I explain what it is, what it looks like, how I believe it came to be, and examples of it/what to do about it. It is not the end for you!!!

Intellectualizing is what is holding you back in your relationships! It can show up as defensiveness or being "logical" when the situation calls for presence, attunement, compassion and curiosity. It can hold you back in your relationship with your KIDS especially! Learn everything you need to know to change this behavior so you can finally learn the felt sense of connection.  Find more @CodependencyKate on TikTok, IG, and YouTube

It is not a very organized episode, just a lot of me yapping!! But I hope you find some value and I plan to make these more put together in the future :) Find this episode on Spotify, Youtube, and Podbean And you can find more on TikTok, IG, and YT @CodependencyKate

This is part 1 of Conversations with Sierra. Sierra is a vibrant, intelligent, goofy 25 year old who happens to be estranged from her mother. This is not necessarily uncommon in this day and age but the part of it that is...is that her mother posts about this estrangement online. Hear the story of how Sierra grew up, what led to the estrangement, and how she's found peace today. If you are struggling with your estrangement, she hopes to be an example of how it doesn't have to define you, no matter how extreme it is and becomes.
