Let’s Talk About It - How Can You Be "Great" When You're Codependent?

As we begin a new year, many of us are encouraged to “go bigger,” “do more,” and “be everything to everyone.” But what happens when our idea of greatness is shaped by over-giving, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for others at the expense of ourselves?

In this first Let’s Talk About It session of 2026, we’ll explore how greatness can quietly become tied to codependent patterns—where worth is measured by sacrifice, availability, or being needed—and how redefining greatness can open the door to healthier boundaries, clarity, and self-respect. This community-led town hall invites honest conversation around questions like:

When did being “great” start meaning overextending yourself? How do codependent patterns show up in work, family, friendships, or caregiving? What do boundaries actually protect in our relationships and sense of self? What might greatness look like if it included rest, reciprocity, and choice?
