    142: Best of: Codependency Doesn’t Exist with Shahem McLaurin
    May 26 2025
    Codependency is one of those buzzwords often used in therapy and mental health around relationships. Today’s guest has provoked a lot of feedback by challenging people’s views on this subject. Join us for this intriguing conversation. I’m joined by one of my favorite people on TikTok, Shahem Mclaurin, a social worker in Brooklyn, NY, with over 500,000 followers on social media. Shahem is self-described as a person who is “queer as hell, Black as hell, and loud as hell.” They use their platform to address a wide range of social and mental health issues impacting people of color, patriarchy-impacted people, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Show Highlights: ● How Shahem’s view of codependency has challenged the worldview of many people ● Why Shahem got a lot of blowback from his thoughts on codependency when he began to challenge popular worldviews ● Why we need to differentiate between attention-seeking and connection-seeking behaviors ● Why people get defensive when their “codependency identification” is challenged ● How the term codependency originated as part of popular therapeutic language ● How our culture sees having empathy for someone and expecting accountability from them as opposites that can’t both be true at the same time ● Thoughts on codependency, outside validation, connectivity, and feeling emotionally safe ● How to take a look at your unique journey “in the pool” Resources and Links: Connect with Shahem: ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ Connect with KC: ⁠TikTok⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠, and ⁠Facebook⁠ Get KC’s book, ⁠How to Keep House While Drowning⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

    141: Best of: Boundary stories pt 1: The dad I didn't cut off
    May 19 2025
    The thing about boundaries is that they are much more complex than most people assume. The world of boundary-setting is rarely colored with clearly defined black-and-white choices. Today’s episode is a conversation with my friend Bethany about her relationship with her father and how she handled boundaries in ways that felt authentic to her. We are discussing how boundaries come into play in the relationships we have and the decision-making process we use. Join us to learn more! Show Highlights: ● A little background on Bethany’s dad, their relationship, and how she grew up not feeling wanted and approved by him ● How Bethany’s relationship with her dad got worse as she became an adult and encountered her personal addiction issues ● How Bethany learned hard lessons about communicating with her dad ● Why Bethany decided to maintain her relationship with her dad—even though he gave her every reason not to ● How Bethany set hard boundaries by not engaging with him when he was drinking and verbally abusive to her ● How extra complexities came into their relationship when his health declined and he needed her more and more ● Why Bethany’s decisions to engage and re-engage were never about believing he would change ● Why the boundary decisions we make are less about what is right or wrong and more about how we can remain an authentic, whole person ● How Bethany handled his terminal illness in ways that left her with no regrets Resources and Links: Connect with KC: ⁠Website⁠, ⁠TikTok⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠, and ⁠Facebook⁠ Get KC’s book, ⁠How to Keep House While Drowning⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Really appreciated KC Davis’ book and was so happy, relieved and not surprised to see she has this equally helpful and easy to listen/relate to podcast.

Love it

TikTok, the audiobook, the book, the ebook….ive loved them all and KC doesn’t disappoint. I appreciate how mindful she is of guests and making sure they’re the right guests (not just finding people to fill a spot or satisfy a PR-quota), and the thoughtfulness she clearly puts into researching and planning the questions (or maybe she’s just naturally this great on the fly! A natural storyteller and interviewer:) ) - thank you KC for everything - one of your original messages of Housekeeping is not a Morale Issue was •LIFE•CHANGING• for me.

KC does it again

I feel as if everyone should listen to this podcast. If it doesn't improve their life, it will prove the lives of people around them because they will be exposed to an alternate perspective.

I can't imagine a person this would not help

Struggled with exec function my whole life due to major depression. This advice makes so much sense! It’s an approach that is needed and long overdue for the non neurotypical.

I'm really enjoying KC Davis' podcast. I see a lot of podcasts started by experts from other platforms that feel like rewarmed tiktok/insta/whatever, but this podcast seems to be offering fresh insight on her core philosophy. Maybe it's because she can have guests here? Whatever the reason, it's a great podcast. I enjoyed this one specifically for discussion of why/when to organize as much as how.
