Be A Better You
The Be a Better You Podcast (formerly The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast) is hosted by Best Selling Author and Certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, Allison K. Dagney. As a young adult, I met a man who I believed was the love of my life. We got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. I was miserable. And I blamed myself for all the problems in our marriage. What I didn't know, was that I was being emotional abused by who I believe is a narcissist. I decided it was time to break free and step into the person I was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life I’ve always imagined.
I escaped, and I turned my personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now I coach women all over the world to help them transform their pain into empowerment, experience peace and joy, and start living life like never before.

In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional trap of believing that if you just love someone harder, they’ll finally love you back the way you deserve. Whether it’s over-giving, trying to fix someone, or sacrificing your needs to keep the peace, we unpack the patterns of codependency that often leave us feeling drained, unappreciated, and stuck in unbalanced relationships.
Through relatable stories and real-life examples, we’ll explore:
- Why loving harder doesn’t create the connection you’re seeking.
- How codependency shows up in romantic relationships and why it’s so common.
- The steps to reclaim your worth and build healthier, mutual relationships.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted from giving too much or wondered why your love isn’t being reciprocated, this episode is for you. Remember, love flows naturally—it’s not something to be earned.
