Boundaries, Codependency, and Losing Yourself: How to Start Trusting Your Signals Again

Boundaries. Codependency. Losing yourself.
These aren’t personality flaws — they’re survival strategies.

In this deeply personal and grounding episode of Loving Your Life Again, Christina weaves together lived experience, nervous system wisdom, and gentle practical guidance to explore how so many of us slowly disappear inside relationships — and how to begin finding our way back.

You’ll hear:

• Why you don’t lose yourself all at once (it happens in tiny moments of self-abandonment)
• What boundaries actually are — and why they don’t work if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to hold them
• How codependency isn’t about being “too nice,” but about organizing your identity around other people’s needs

Christina also shares a powerful personal story about trying to “set boundaries” in an unsafe relationship — and the moment she realized that boundaries aren’t just words or agreements… they’re something your body has to be able to hold.

This episode includes a gentle guided somatic and visualization practice to help you reconnect with yourself, imagine what it might feel like to truly love your life again, and identify one small, compassionate next step you can take.

✨ If you’ve ever asked yourself:

• “Why do I keep abandoning myself?”
• “Why do I know better, but still can’t seem to hold the line?”
• “How did I lose myself in this relationship?”

…this episode is for you.

• The real definition of boundaries (and why they’re about what you allow, not controlling others)

• The subtle ways we give our power away over time
