I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions. After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us. Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worl…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T16:19:37.432011+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/women-waken-spiritual-healing-for-trauma-in-relationships-to-shift-from-codependency-to-divine-feminine-4078417"},"episode":{"title":"Throw Back Episode: Why We Ask For Love From People Who Aren't Able To or Don't Want to Give It To Us: When Codependency Makes Us Believe We're Unloveable","slug":"throw-back-episode-why-we-ask-for-love-from-people-who-aren-t-able-to-or-don-t-want-to-give-it-to-us-when-codependency-makes-us-believe-we-re-unloveable","published_at":"2026-04-11T10:33:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/women-waken-spiritual-healing-for-trauma-in-relationships-to-shift-from-codependency-to-divine-feminine-4078417/throw-back-episode-why-we-ask-for-love-from-people-who-aren-t-able-to-or-don-t-want-to-give-it-to-us-when-codependency-makes-us-believe-we-re-unloveable","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/women-waken-spiritual-healing-for-trauma-in-relationships-to-shift-from-codependency-to-divine-feminine-4078417","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/3499bb71","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/3499bb71/9b958c46.mp3","summary":"*(Helllllo Listeners! This episode was originally released in July 2023. I just finished an amazing 2 weeks in Hawaii and now I sail across the seas for my new adventure! I plan to record new episodes before too long yet I'm not sure when. I hope you'll hang in and continue to tune in!)* Too often it's the case that someone can receive 100 compliments yet choose instead to only focus on the one person who insulted them. The same can be seen frequently in dating and relationships. When a person we're seeing makes it clear through their actions, words, behavior, demeanor & beyond that they aren't willing to put in the effort for us or give us the love we are looking for. Yet we continue to take the minimal effort they are willing to give in hopes that it will eventually amount to a full blown loving connection. The reality is that 99% of the time it won't and we're better off moving on sooner than later so we can actually be available to the person who DOES want to love us. Codependency holds us back, believing that we need this person's approval and love to be worthy. On this Identify and Heal solo episode, I explore the phenomenon of seeking love from people who are either incapable of doing so or have no interest in giving love to us. Which, when experienced, can lead us to believe that there is something wrong with us and create a fear that maybe we are unloveable. The truth is that these are simply people who are not aligned with us and cannot truly see us for the amazing, Divine Feminine being that we are so why waste our time on them? I provide some insight and personal experience with this concept and how to avoid falling into this trap the next time around.
