A Life of Greatness
Terri Cole: High-Functioning Codependency, Narcissists, and the Boundaries That Will Save Your Life
09 Jun 2025
Ever feel like you're holding everyone else's life together, but losing your own in the process? Terri Cole, psychotherapist, relationship expert and bestselling author, joins Sarah Grynberg to unpack the hidden epidemic of high-functioning codependency: the people-pleasing, over-giving, and self-abandonment that silently erodes a persons confidence, clarity, and wellbeing. In this eye-opening conversation, they explore how to spot the subtle signs of toxic dynamics, why boundary-setting is the ultimate act of self-love, and how to reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind. You'll learn: *What high-functioning codependency is and why it's so hard to spot. *How to break free from emotional exhaustion. *The surprising truth about narcissists. *Scripts for setting clear, kind boundaries (especially when it's awkward). This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to stop over-functioning for everyone else and start showing up fully for themselves.
