Breaking the Cycle: The 3 Codes to Clear Codependency


What if codependence isn’t just a flaw, but a signal urging you to reconnect with your true self?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Cheryl Fidelman, The Conscious Codependence™ Coach, to explore how we can break free from codependent patterns and reclaim our sense of self. Cheryl has spent years guiding individuals out of unconscious cycles of self-abandonment and into deep inner belonging through her Conscious Codependence™ methodology—a unique blend of Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and intersubjective meditation. Cheryl is here to normalize codependence.

"Codependency is not present. Intimacy is presence." - Cheryl Fidelman

"True intimacy with our partners comes from ourselves being our safe home base." - Leann Herron

🎧 Tune in to learn how to move from self-abandonment into deep belonging.


In this episode, you’ll discover:


💡 The true nature of codependency and how it affects our sense of self
💡 How to identify when you’re prioritizing others over your own needs
💡 The importance of re-establishing a connection with your body and emotions
💡 Cheryl’s personal journey and how it shaped her work
💡 Practical tools to navigate feelings of self-betrayal and people-pleasing
💡 The three codes of clear codependence: Wanting to be wanted, needing to be needed, and the need to prove oneself
💡 How to diminish the return time when you find yourself slipping into old patterns
💡 The significance of intimacy as a mutual experience of witnessing oneself and others


If you’ve ever felt lost in the pursuit of pleasing others, this episode is your invitation to return to your own truth and embrace a life of authenticity and fulfillment.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
