Season 3, Episode 7

In this episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with Barb Nangle, boundaries coach and host of the Fragmented to Whole podcast, to explore the power of healthy boundaries, emotional intimacy, and personal recovery.

Barb shares her transformative journey—from hitting a codependent low at age 52 to finding healing through 12-step programs—and how that experience reshaped her relationships, self-worth, and approach to intimacy. Together, Eve and Barb discuss why boundaries are essential for emotional wellbeing, how people-pleasing patterns can hold us back, and what it truly means to take responsibility for your own happiness.

This conversation also highlights the deep connection between emotional intimacy and sexual relationships. Barb opens up about her decision to prioritize emotional connection before physical intimacy, and how that choice led to a more fulfilling and aligned partnership. She also shares practical tools for self-focus, clear communication, and building confidence through self-acceptance.

The episode concludes with insights into self-care practices like meditation, yoga, and spiritual connection—offering listeners a grounded path toward healing, empowerment, and more conscious relationships.
