After nearly 40 years of therapy and self-help work, Barb thought she had it all figured out — until she hit the walls of codependence, trauma, and self-neglect that no amount of “trying harder” could fix. 

At 52, she walked into a 12-step room and everything changed.

In this episode of Sick & Tired Recovery, Barb — now a boundaries coach, speaker, author, and host of the Fragmented to Whole podcast — shares how recovery melted the iceberg of her life. 

She opens up about the deep work of healing childhood wounds, breaking cycles of codependence, and learning to set boundaries that transformed not just her personal relationships, but her professional life too.
