https://www.couragepod.com/?ref=rssA show about disconnection, relationships, healing, and finding the courage to reconnect and return to yourself.Hosted by therapist, coach, and author Sarah Monares, this show explores the patterns that keep us stuck in anxiety, people-pleasing, codependency, self-doubt, conflict avoidance, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Through honest conversations, personal stories, expert insights, and real-life experiences, we explore what happens when we disconnect from ourselves to stay connected to others, and how to break those patterns so we can experience deeper, healthier, more authentic relationships. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, healing old wounds, learning to trust yourself, or trying to understand why you keep repeating the same patterns, you’re not alone here. Because real connection starts with reconnecting to yourself. And when you find the courage to reconnect, it changes not only your relationship with yourself, but also the relationships that matter most. An international co-production of the United States and Portugal produced by Loudspeaker Studios.
