EP47 When Independence Goes Too Far: Tackling Hyper-Independence

The Divorce Chapter

Send us a Text Message.

In this episode, we take a look at hyper-independence, a common but often overlooked issue that many of us face after going through a divorce.

It maybe starts as a new found independence and autonomy after breaking free from a co-dependent toxic relationship…. But soon ends up going to the other extreme where we refuse to ask for help, and become SO self-reliant…. To the point it can just get too overwhelming.

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling like you need to handle EVERYTHING on your own, this episode is for you.

What to Expect in This Episode:

• Understanding Hyper-Independence: What is hyper-independence and how does it differ from healthy self-reliance?
• I share my own journey from codependency to hyper-independence and some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way in getting back to healthy independence.
• Learn actionable strategies to strike a balance of healthy independence.

Divorce can be a challenging journey, but you really don’t have to navigate it alone.

This episode is packed with insights and advice to help you find your path to healthy independence and emotional well-being.

I hope you enjoy it 🌸

Sending you SO much love
