Ep. 145 - EXPLAINED Codependency

Do you base your self-worth on external approval, struggle to say "no", or struggle to maintain boundaries? Today’s episode of EXPLAINED is for you, and revolves around a tendency many of us have: codependency! Today Lacy is joined by Dr. Tara and Jessica for a deep dive conversation on the energetics and neuroscience behind this pattern

Codependency, at its core, is a coping mechanism usually brought about as a trauma response. It involves a reliance on other people for validation and safety. In this roundtable discussion we discuss why it happens, how to recognize it and what we can do to heal these wounds! It’s a fascinating look into how codependency intertwines with love, career, family life and the manifestation process. Enjoy!

Trigger Warning! This episode contains an example of a case where a suicide attempt is mentioned. If you would like to avoid this section of the conversation, skip over minutes 10:15 - 11:02.

HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips

(with exercises by Jessica Gill)

Available now!

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.

At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
– Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
– Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.

Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
