In this podcast episode, Jessica Parente, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and ICF Accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, discusses codependency and its impact. Jess shares her personal experience with codependency, which began in childhood due to adverse events. She became hypervigilant, anxious, and perfectionistic, struggling with boundaries and indecisiveness. It wasn't until later in life that she recognized her codependent traits. Jess explains what codependency is, how it is developed and shares symptoms of codependency.
This episode explores how codependents are magnets for someone with narcissistic tendencies, and how overcoming codependency involves awareness, education and identifying and working on habits and boundaries. Modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems that work on the subconscious and somatic levels, rewiring codependent patterns are explained.
Jess shares the positive aspects of her recovery, including self-discovery, emotional balance, and the ability to choose how to engage with her codependent tendencies. Trusting intuition, setting boundaries, and feeling laid-back are among the benefits. She leaves us with her final thoughts that codependency is not a life sentence and can be rewired with hard work and diligence.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
