Are you tired of people-pleasing, over-functioning, or living for everyone’s expectations but your own? In today’s Core Happiness Podcast episode, I’m joined by human potential coach and bestselling author Kamini Wood for a deeply grounding conversation about healing codependency, breaking toxic patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and learning how to become your own self-leader.
We explore how high achievers slip into burnout and perfectionism, why boundaries trigger guilt, how mindfulness supports emotional regulation, and how to shift from “doing” to “being” so you can live in alignment with your core values.
Whether you're recovering from toxic relationships, navigating shame, or learning to trust your voice again, this episode will help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels like you.
✨ Listen in to learn:
• Subtle signs of codependency that often go unnoticed
• How to step into emotional independence without guilt
• What self-leadership really looks like in daily life
• Why shame and “I should be further along” keep us stuck
• Practical mindfulness tools for anxiety and self-regulation
• How to rebuild self-trust one small step at a time
