[BONUS EPISODE] Mom On Purpose Book Club: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie

Mom on Purpose

In this episode of the Mom on Purpose book club, we're going to dive into the book "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie.
I think so much of us as Christian women, as mothers, we can find and see ourselves a lot in this definition she lists as being a codependent or struggling with codependency.
So, listen in as we recognize and overcome the traits of codependency, focusing on how caretaking and low self-esteem play significant roles.
We also address the emotional journey of detaching from adult children, the importance of setting boundaries, and fostering independence. Through this book, I share strategies for mothers transitioning from being deeply involved in their children's lives to allowing them more independence.
Reclaim your self-worth and emotional healing, as we discuss the effects of self-criticism and the path to self-acceptance.
What you'll learn:

• How codependency can manifest even in the absence of substance abuse
• How to step out of the drama triangle and foster healthier interactions
• Strategies for mothers to transition from controlling to guiding as their children grow more independent
• Shifting focus from fixing others to managing one's own emotions
• Signs of being codependent based on the book "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie
