About Dr. Angela Downey

I am a partner, a mother, a daughter and a family doctor. I started my healing journey with codependency in 2022 and have been committed to living a healthier, happier and more rewarding life since.

In the depths of my own struggle with codependency, I never imagined I would find myself here, sharing my story of recovery with you. Yet, here I am, ready to open up and shed light on a journey that has transformed my life in ways I never thought possible.

For years, I found myself entangled in a web of constantly seeking validation and fulfillment from others. I lost sight of my own worth and identity, becoming enmeshed in the needs and desires of those around me. Every decision I made, every action I took, was dictated by a relentless fear of abandonment and a desperate need to please.

And so, my journey of healing began. It was not an easy path to walk, filled with moments of doubt, fear, and uncertainty. But with each step forward, I reclaimed a piece of myself that had long been buried beneath the weight of codependency. Alongside hosting The Codependent Doctor and Paging Dr. Mom podcasts, I’ve also authored self-guided workbooks designed to help others on their healing journeys.
