We Heal Together

Let's Talk About Healing Our Shame.

Episode Summary

This episode is particularly helpful for anyone. We are all human beings, and shame is a universal feeling that we all experience. I think this podcast will be particularly helpful for people struggling with codependency. I say that because I am one of those people, and the stuff covered within this podcast has been part of my healing journey. Be sure to check out the show notes for all citations, resources, book recommendations, and worksheets. If you like my content, I would love to have you as a part of my community. I invite you to follow me on Instagram @codependentrecovery. Check out the show notes for information on how to purchase my workbook & how to join ZOOM community clubs. Don't forget that a new podcast drops every Monday. Tune in next Monday for a new episode. We heal better together. See y'all soon. Xoxo- Cordelia
