Episode 449: Addressing Codependency as Photographers – Alisha Crossley
Do you seek your validation or security from the approval of others, including external praise for accomplishments?
As photographers, we often unknowingly look for that praise from clients we serve, which can be toxic for our mental wellbeing. In episode 449 of the Bokeh Podcast, Alisha Crossley joins us to discuss codependency, learned behaviors, and setting boundaries!
