What if the way you show up in your life had less to do with discipline and strategy and everything to do with identity? In this episode, Isabelle walks you through the BRIDGE pillars framework: 6 foundational pillars of an empowered life that can anchor you from the inside out. Before diving in, she unpacks the crucial difference between interdependence and codependence, including a powerful look at the Karpman Drama Triangle and why your instinct to rescue might actually be keeping your kids stuck.

In this episode you’ll hear about:
- The difference between codependence and interdependence and why it matters for your family culture
