Back on the podcast this week we have one of our fave guests Codependency Coach Hailey Magee joining us to chat about boundaries and dating.  We discuss the triggers that dating can cause especially when codependency or people pleasing tendencies have been in your past. We dissect attachment style wounds + how being aware of those can help navigate the tricky terrain of beginning relationships as well as chatting about knowing your non-negotiable&apos;s versus preferences in dating.  Hailey reiterates for us the gift that is honouring your boundaries + that communicating those is like giving someone a guidebook on how to interact with you so you feel safe and seen in dating. Share your biggest takeaway&apos;s here:https://www.instagram.com/quintessentialbeingbynikki/https://www.facebook.com/quintessentialbeingbynikkiConnect with Hailey here:https://www.instagram.com/haileypaigemagee/http://www.haileymagee.com/workshops/

I share insights into my career in radio + ultimately why I decided to leave that industry, as well as the birthing of this podcast into the world. I vulnerably share my journey of being a solo Mama + the realities that co-parenting have on me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did having the conversation.

So much of our parenting triggers + challenges hark back to our own early, formative years.

In this episode Emma talks to us about the formative years of childhood + that  behaviour (of any kind) is just how kids communicate their needs, as parents we can stuff it up by taking it super personally!She also advocates what she calls radical role modelling – be that which you want for your kid, yourself. It&apos;s easier said than done, we know... this is what I love about Emma&apos;s realistic approach to shifting our shit. It’s a process, don’t be afraid to show them the process or strategy behind trying to build sustainable + healthy change. THAT is radically modelling adulting.Continue the conversation here:https://www.instagram.com/quintessentialbeingbynikki/https://www.facebook.com/quintessentialbeingbynikkihttps://www.quintessentialbeing.com/Find Emma here:https://www.facebook.com/emholdsworthhttps://www.instagram.com/treehouse_emma/http://www.treehousecounselling.com.au/
