18. The Fawn Response and Codependency in Motherhood

So many moms are great at showing up for everyone but quietly lose sight of themselves in the process. In this episode explore the fawn response and codependency in motherhood, and how these patterns shape the way we relate, love, and carry responsibility. We talk about people-pleasing, emotional labor, over-functioning, self-silencing, and why rest and personal desires can feel hard to name. If you’ve ever felt anxious when others are upset, guilty when you rest, or unsure who you are outside of motherhood, this episode is for you. This conversation begins a deeper series on identity, healing, and learning to include yourself in the relationships you care about most.
