Healing Our Relationships: From Codependency to Authenticity

Marisa La Fata

Healing Our Relationships is a transformational podcast guiding listeners into the deeper work of relational healing, self-trust, and spiritual awakening. Hosted by Marisa La Fata—Insight Timer Meditation Teacher, Intuitive, Transformation Guide, and a woman with more than 18 years of lived recovery and spiritual practice—this podcast offers a grounded, heart-centered path back to the truth of who you are. Marisa's work blends psychology, codependency recovery, addiction healing, Toltec wisdom, trauma-awareness, and soul-level spiritual practice. She is known for her ability to translate complex inner work into clear, embodied, compassionate guidance—rooted in her lived experience of awakening and her commitment to helping others return to themselves. Each episode invites listeners beneath the surface of codependency—not just the behaviors, but the origin: the fear, the survival strategies, the inherited agreements, and the inner narratives that once kept us safe but now keep us small. With her signature depth and clarity, Marisa explores patterns such as people-pleasing, avoidance, projection, control, hypervigilance, and self-abandonment, showing how each one formed and how to shift them with compassion rather than shame. Listeners learn how to: • Identify the unconscious agreements shaping their relationships • Differentiate fear from intuition, trauma from truth • Set boundaries without collapsing into guilt • See themselves through the lens of their soul rather than their history • Heal from old relational wounds and learn to trust their inner voice • Build relationships rooted in courage, clarity, honesty, and love Whether you're navigating partnership, friendship, family dynamics, or your own inner patterns, this podcast is ultimately about coming home to the most important relationship you will ever have—the one with yourself.

    Don Jose Ruiz: A Conversation on Love Without Conditions

    Today I have someone incredibly special with me. Not just a renowned Toltec Master of Transformation, not just a teacher or an author, but a dear friend to me and to everyone he meets. don José Ruiz is a Toltec Master, a storyteller, the author of The Fifth Agreement, Ripples of Wisdom, and My Good Friend the Rattlesnake. He's a speaker, a devoted vegan, a coffee lover, and someone who has dedicated his life to translating ancient Toltec wisdom into practical teachings that bring more truth, love, and personal freedom into the world. But beyond all of that... José is someone who embodies unconditional love. He walks through the world in a way that makes people light up when they see him. His presence softens defenses. His humor and humility make the teachings feel accessible. And the way he loves openly, generously, and without condition is medicine this world desperately needs more of. José shares his own personal story, the obstacles he has worked to overcome, his journey inside of relationships and addiction. He will inspire you to remember you are more than your human experience. You are infinite, and you have the power to create the life of your dreams. You have the power and courage to love yourself and soften to love others and the world around you, even if you do not agree with their personal dream.  This conversation is unscripted and straight from the heart. No planned questions. No performance. Just two friends sharing truth, laughing, exploring, and letting the moment guide us. I'm so honored to share this space with him, and I hope you feel the love, the freedom, and the permission that José naturally awakens in everyone he meets. *Content note: This episode includes a brief reference to sexual abuse.

  2. The Problem With "You Deserve Better, Go Find It" And Why Leaving Isn't the Answer Social Media Says It Is

    The Problem With "You Deserve Better, Go Find It" And Why Leaving Isn't the Answer Social Media Says It Is

    Yes — there are many people in this world you could be in a relationship with. There is no shortage of potential partners. But when you are struggling inside your relationship, when there is fear, insecurity, reactivity, shutting down, chasing, or any kind of trauma response, the idea that there's "someone better out there" doesn't empower you. It actually pulls you further away from yourself. It keeps you externally focused instead of internally connected. For someone who is living inside anxiety, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, avoidance, perfectionism, or the pattern of running every time things get hard… the message "you deserve better, go find it" becomes another way to disconnect from yourself. It reinforces the belief that your healing lives outside of you. That someone else will come along and soothe everything you haven't yet learned how to hold within yourself. And that is where this narrative becomes harmful. Because it pushes people into the next relationship without ever stopping to understand: why they choose who they choose what part of them gets activated, frightened, or shut down what version of themselves takes over when things feel threatening what need in them keeps going unmet, and why what patterns they are replaying from their childhood or past what agreements or beliefs about love they are still living inside of Without that awareness, leaving doesn't create clarity, it creates repetition. If someone leaves without doing their inner work, they don't "find better." They find a new person to run the same patterns with. They carry the same wound into the next connection. They carry the same fear into the next dynamic. They bring the same unspoken needs, the same unhealed parts, the same survival strategies — and eventually, those patterns show up again, no matter how different the new partner seems at first. And because the beginning of a relationship feels exciting, hopeful, intoxicating… people mistake that dopamine rush for healing. They mistake the quiet of a new connection for safety. They mistake difference for evolution. But when the high wears off, when the nervous system settles, the same wounds come forward. And the cycle repeats. So when I say that "go find better" is harmful, this is what I mean: it seduces you into believing that your healing is waiting for you in someone else, instead of waiting for you in you. It distracts you from the work that actually changes your patterns. And it prevents you from looking at the version of yourself that keeps showing up in your relationships, over and over again. You don't break the cycle by finding someone new. You break the cycle by coming home to yourself.

  3. The Bridge Between Codependency And Authenticity

    The Bridge Between Codependency And Authenticity

    Welcome back to Healing Our Relationships. This episode dives into the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. The bridge is the place where awareness meets embodiment, where intent becomes practice and where the real transformation happens.  On one side of that bridge is the familiar self, the one who moves from the patterns of codependency that keep them "safe" to avoid pain, the side that is often built on the foundation of fear. Fear of not being good enough, not doing right or fear of truly being seen. On the other side of the bridge is what it looks like when you are living as your authentic self. It is here, on the bridge, it can be really uncomfortable, but where the real lasting healing and growth happens. It is in that walk across when the relationship to yourself deepens in love and reverence.  I will inspire you to have the courage to navigate the discomfort in the in-between of wanting to be chosen and learning to choose ourselves. We look at how the mind, body, and spirit each hold a piece of that work: the mind still learning to release the old story, the body remembering safety, and your spirit teaching you how to trust what's real. This episode is about the devotion it takes to live in alignment with your soul — to stay steady when the bridge shakes beneath you, and to keep walking toward the life that's actually yours. It is on the bridge you not only meet yourself, but others walking alongside you, tools to help you keep walking and the awakenings that will forever change you.  The first step towards ourself is the scariest, the rest is an unfolding of more than you could probably imagine.  Ready to stop circling the same patterns and start living differently?

  4. From Codependency To Co-Creation: A Special Interview With Linda Star Wolf

    From Codependency To Co-Creation: A Special Interview With Linda Star Wolf

    This week on the Healing Our Relationships Podcast I have a very special guest. She is the author of 13 books, the Founder of Venus Rising Association for Transformation and creator of Shamanic Breathwork. She has been a shamanic visionary teacher and guide to thousands of people over the last four decades, dedicating her life to assisting soul seekers to transform and embrace their lives. Star Wolf's lifelong passion and sacred purpose is to support personal transformation. She shares openly and vulnerably of her addiction and codependency recovery and brings forward a theme we have not yet touched on in our podcast, Codependency as a crisis of the Spirit. In this vulnerable and intimate conversation, we explore how the roots of codependency can stem from spiritual disconnection, the forgetting of who we truly are and the divine source that is all around us. Star Wolf speaks to how recovery, in its truest sense, is a process of remembrance and of coming home to the sacred within ourselves. Together, we discuss how healing moves beyond human behavior and into the realm of the soul, where surrender becomes an opening rather than a loss, and where breath becomes the bridge between the human and the divine.  We also touch on the deeper spiritual roots of codependency and how it reflects the collective wounding of the Divine Feminine under patriarchal systems that have long valued doing over being, pleasing over truth, and control over trust. In reclaiming our connection, we begin to restore balance within ourselves and the world remembering that our worth, our power, and our love were never meant to be earned, only remembered. This episode is an invitation to those on the path to explore if a connection to something greater could help them reclaim the power of love, and to remember that the journey of healing is ultimately a journey of returning to wholeness, to truth, and to the heart of who we are. I invite you to have an open heart and open mind. Take what feels in alignment, leave what doesn't and be curous about that which may push you to your edges. Remember we are sharing our own personal expereince- not overarching truths.  Learn More About Star Wolf and Venus Rising at https://www.shamanicbreathwork.org/ You can buy her new book Aquarian Shaman Here You can learn more about SHIP (Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process) Here  Buy Jacquelyn Small's Book Awakening In Time From Codependency to Co-Creation Here  Learn More about working with me 1:1 or in a Cohort Here Join our live monthly Zoom call for women on the last Thursday of the month by dowloading my free meditation app HealSpace  Thank you for being here.

  5. How to Find Freedom in Being Seen, Judged & Misunderstood

    10月14日

    How to Find Freedom in Being Seen, Judged & Misunderstood

    In order to be authentic we have to have the courage to be seen, judged and misunderstood. So much of our fear of authenticity comes from making assumptions and projection — seeing others not as they are, but through the lens of our own unhealed stories. Whether we are the projectors or being projected upon, in this episode of Healing Our Relationships, we explore how projections keep us afraid to be fully ourselves, and understanding that people's personal experience with us, is rarely just about us. And how having the courage to live with this awareness transforms it into a pathway of freedom. We explore the subtle and often painful ways projection keeps us trapped in fear — fear of being misunderstood, fear of being too much or not enough, fear of losing love if we show who we really are. This is a conversation about learning to let others be themselves without trying to fix, manage, or interpret them through the lens of our own wounds. It's also about reclaiming your own freedom by allowing people to have their experience of you and learning how to hold judgement, criticism and someone else's fear.  Together, we'll explore what it means to stand rooted in authenticity, to hold the discomfort of being misunderstood, and to meet yourself with compassion when fears rise. Through reflection and embodied practice, you'll begin to notice the moments when projection takes over, and learn how to return to truth again and again. Because when you stop trying to control how others see you, you make space for the one thing you've been searching for all along: the freedom to be yourself.  Learn more about me at www.healwithalchemy.com Follow me on instagram at @soulalchemyhealing  Join us for free on live on Zoom on the last Thursday of the month for Healing Our Relationships the Circle

    You Are Enough: A Meditation For Inner Peace

    This month I am on an ancestral pilgrimage to Italy with my father so I am getting creative to bring you something every week. A couple weeks ago my offering for you was a free 7 Day Morning Practice at your own pace video course, last week I offered you a prayer for moments of relationship fear, obsession or disastermind. This week I offer you a guided meditation. In this meditation you will embark on a profound journey to release feelings of insecurity, unreasonable expectations for yourself and "not enoughness," fear, and anxieties. Expand your consciousness, and transition from focusing on the micro to the macro. As you immerse yourself in the energy of your soul, you will rise above your current state, and transcend beyond the constraints of your rolls, expectations and surroundings. Find inner peace and transform your perspective in this empowering meditation experience. Give yourself 10 mins to be held, inspired inside of your vision and connect to yourself. I have a reputation for being the best meditation teacher for people who don't like to meditate. I don't invite you into silence, but into vision, into a creation of an inner landscape where you can learn to trust yourself and remember who you are.  You can find more of my meditations on Insight Timer or my personal mediation App Healspace.  Learn More About Me @ www.healwithalchemy.com Work with me 1:1 , Join My Mystery School or Retreat with me.  Find Me on Instagram @soulalchemyhealing
