Codependency Alchemy: The Podcast

Alyssa Zander's Codependency Alchemy takes the concept of codependency and reframes it not as something shameful to fix, but as raw material for transformation — alchemy, in her framing. The weekly solo podcast has 114 episodes and covers shadow work, inner child healing, boundary-setting, and the specific relationship patterns that people with codependent tendencies fall into over and over again. Zander's style is personal and story-driven. She shares her own experiences with abandonment wounds and relationship dynamics openly, which creates an intimacy that makes solo episodes feel more like a one-on-one conversation than a broadcast. She talks about what happens when your partner says no and you feel your whole nervous system revolt, or when you realize you've been performing a version of yourself to keep someone close. These are specific, recognizable moments that her audience connects with deeply. Rated 4.8 stars from 125 reviews, the show has built a loyal community. Zander's focus on reclaiming your voice and building self-trust gives the podcast a empowering arc — it's not just about understanding your patterns, it's about actively building a new way of relating to yourself and others. The codependency angle makes this a strong companion to more attachment-focused shows, since codependency and anxious attachment overlap significantly but aren't identical. If you've been told you're "too much" in relationships, if you've lost yourself trying to keep someone else happy, Zander speaks directly to that experience with honesty and a clear belief that you can come out the other side as yourself, not a diminished version of yourself.
