The Codependummy Podcast


As a young woman, you have been raised, reinforced, and rewarded to put the needs of others above your own (i.e., to be codependent). Now, in your 20s, you're finding yourself exhausted, exasperated, and enveloped in crap relationships. You're tapped out at 22, burnt out at 25, or having a quarter-life-crisis as you approach 30 and asking, "If I'm doing everything to make everyone else happy, why am I so miserable?" This podcast is to help you undo all that so you can stop playing small and start taking up space, ya dummy! One episode at a time, I will help you let go of your codependent ways so you can stop being such a codependummy and shine like a codependiamond! Let's get to it!

More deets on this week’s episode:

We introduce a new segment: Tools for Healing with a discussion all about JOURNALING.

3 reasons to journal:

  1. It promotes self-alignment via the psychoneuromotor aspect of writing. 
  2. It encourages self-honesty since you can’t lie to your journal
  3. It enables self-reliance. You write out and work through your own solutions rather than trying to ask everything and everyone else what you should do. 

Marissa then shares an anecdote where journaling helped her put her needs first. She was working, going to graduate school, and working on her masters thesis and started to feel overwhelmed. She almost stayed in a part-time on-campus job because she was being a codependummy who didn’t want to disappoint her boss. Thanks to journaling, she was able to get in touch with her feelings, work through them, and come to the obvious conclusion: quit.

Marissa then lists some suggestions for journaling:
1. A pro and con list (with a twist where you write the pros and cons to each outcome)

  1. Forecast: “If I do this, then….” “If I do this other thing, then…” (it’s helpful to identify what you may be afraid of when it comes to prioritizing yourself)
  2. A letter-to-never-send (helps get your feelings out towards someone or something)
  3. A letter to send (to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a healthy manner with someone else)

    We conclude with an announcement of the premier product from the podcast! THE CONFIDING CODEPENDUMMY: 30-Days of Journaling Prompts for a less-codependent and more-conscious YOU!

    According to Google, confiding means: willing to tell someone about a secret or private matter and trust them not to repeat it to others. 

With this collection of journal prompts, in an effort to help you with getting into self-alignment, self-honesty, and self-reliance, you’ll be confiding in yourself.
 

Why you need this: develop the awareness, insight, and consciousness you seek surrounding your codependency.

The Confiding Codependummy will help you:

  • See and understand the impact codependency has had on your life.
  • Remove blame from yourself for why you are codependent.
