In this episode of the podcast, Terri Cole explores high-functioning codependency, highlighting how successful individuals often fall into patterns of over-giving and people-pleasing that can harm their well-being. Drawing from her experience as a psychotherapist, Cole identifies the traits and family dynamics that contribute to these behaviors, as well as the damaging effects they can have, such as burnout and strained relationships. She stresses the importance of helping others without fostering dependency and advocates for self-care, setting boundaries, and empowering oneself as key steps toward healthier connections.
