676. Codependency, Herbal Healing, + the Gut-Lung Connection with Organic Olivia

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik March 26, 2024 Duration: 1:51:32
In today’s episode, BFFs Krista + Olivia Amitrano, aka Organic Olivia, dive into the intricate web of codependency. Together, they unpack the reasons why we seek external validation and inspire us on a journey towards awareness and breaking the cycle.  Ahead, Olivia opens up about her childhood and the experiences that led her down the addictive path of codependency. She explains how this pattern can affect our health, likening the Chinese Medicine concept of 'dampness' to our emotional and spiritual challenges with codependency.  Krista + Olivia remind us that true independence and self-regulation come from within, and the real work is finding peace and a stable sense of self without relying on others. If you’re struggling to break free from codependency, you’re not alone, and healing is possible.  We also talk about: The impact of selective childhood attention The 'devouring mother' dynamic Balancing the gut-lung microbiome Enmeshment within family dynamics Spirituality + cultivating afterlife connections Setting boundaries + self-awareness Prayer, gratitude, + intuition Resources: Website: https://www.organicolivia.com/ Instagram: @organic_olivia Sponsors: Natural Cycles | Use code Almost30 at naturalcycles.com to get 15% off an annual subscription + a free thermometer.
