12. Codependency and Intergenerational Trauma ft. William Shaw

Shit We Don't Tell Mom

Our new friend Will share's his childhood experience growing up biracial in the deep south. We discuss codependency, people-pleasing tendencies, team cat vs team dog, and cutting toxic parental figures out of our lives for the sake of our own mental health.
Highlights:

• What does it actually mean to be codependent?
• Are you team dog or team cat?
• Will speaks about what it's like growing up biracial in the deep south
• Growing up with a parent who never healed themselves

Takeaways:

• We all get our shit together at a different pace
• Having codependent habits doesn't mean you can't break them
• You can grieve a parent but also feel relieved that the toxicity is gone
• The bonds you choose to hold on to can mean more than the ones you were born with
