From Codependency to Authenticity: Begin Your Journey Here

Welcome to Healing Our Relationships.

I'm Marisa. I'm a Healer and Transformation Guide, and someone who's spent years untangling my own patterns of addictions and codependency — and helping others do the same.

Join me each week on Healing Our Relationships as I guide you through understanding codependency, reconnecting with your authentic self, and creating relationships rooted in truth.

Codependency often sounds clinical, as though it's only a problem for people in chaotic relationships or recovering from addiction. But it's subtler and far more pervasive than that.

Codependency is what happens every time we abandon ourselves to avoid conflict, rejection, or loss.

It's in the way we swallow words that tremble to be spoken.
It's in the quick, polite yes when everything in our body screams no.
It's in the silence we keep because we're afraid of being misunderstood.
It's in the way we dim our own light so someone else won't feel small.

These are not failures. They're survival strategies.
Brilliant adaptations we created to stay safe.

But survival is not the same as living.
And at some point, the strategies that kept us safe become the very cages that keep us disconnected from our truth.

Healing Our Relationships is a space to explore all of this with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Together, we'll talk about how these patterns show up in real life. We'll learn how to come back to ourselves, even in the middle of messy relationships. And we'll discover practices for building connection that doesn't cost us our own wholeness.

If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself in the name of love… you're not alone. And you don't have to keep living that way.

Join me as we begin the journey — back home to ourselves.
