It’s so refreshing to see and hear two smart, sensitive, strong, highly opinionated and beautiful women in modern media talk about real and daily issues women of all ages face, thank you.
Women are constantly told about "daily issues women of all ages face", which only makes us feel even worse. Everyone faces challenges men and women. Accept it and move it.
@@fs457 I would like to aspire to be beautiful. The world cares about the beauty of a woman and will always care. Better accept it rather than fight it. Also men and women are different, they will be different and they should be different. They are both equally important, but they are different. So the fact that they're women and beautiful is absolutely relevant.
Ashley is such a fantastic interviewer and Whitney is such an informative and genuine guest. Would love for you to join up again. Truly a magic combo ✨
There is a quote/saying that goes something like this: the minute you settle for less than you deserve, you will be given half of what you settled for.
I never knew that Co-dependency had more meanings than hanging around someone alot or depending on someone for everything. I am so glad I clicked on this because this describes me to a T. And I never knew that it could actually be defined like this. And then her giving advice on how to handle it, it has really opened up my mind to how I'm acting and how it benefits me more than others. Because I am typically a big people person. Gosh this makes me feel better!
Dude! Scheduling a therapist next week. She described me damn near to a tee. I mean I have broken out of it a bit over the past decade (really shot into it after my mom died and I started to care less about people's feelings) but still. Whoa.
It really fucked with my head. I know myself for being independent and doing everything for myself, but also ALWAYS offerring help or solutions for others. I never care if people like me or not but im always happy to leave a good first impression. So am I just being a good friend or am I actually just co-dependent? Shit. I need to realise things about myself now.
@@Sunny99926 One of the way I took to better know myself, was to honestly question my motivations for my actions. It sounds simple but I discovered layers of bullshit I was telling myself. Ideas I was sold on as a kid mostly, but also behaviors I picked up from others thinking it was doing ''the right thing''. Very important to take yourself with love on that journey, even if it's not always a given. I had to talk to myself, I order to accept things the way they are as a reality, be in the moment, not judgemental. You have to do all this in writing so you always know where you are in the process, and I discover that the chances I lie to myself are very low if I make the effort to write it down. I wish you courage on your path. :)
@@likearollingstone007 that's very kind! Thank you for the advice! Lately I've realized that I'm not responsible for other people's lives and I shouldn't carry their problems and break my back. Im glad for this journey, and hope I will always better myself. Again thank you 💞
The codependency in the title is what got me to watch but, wow, I loved this whole interview! Whitney is so intelligent! I learned a lot and it was nice to see her in a different setting/perspective. This is going to sound dramatic but she dropped some life-changing gems in here (at least life-changing for me). Video favorited so I can revisit it later :)
You have to get the book "Codependency No More" (By Melodie (sorry forgot last name)- it is a life changing book- really discusses why we have these tendencies and how to create boundaries.
My mom went to a codependency course and it saved our relationship. I was in college at the time and just thought my mom was a helicopter and annoying but still loving. Whenever I came home , I noticed the changes she made. We could talk openly using the vocabulary of codependency. The free course was hosted by a local church but wasn't religious. It's great to hear more people talking about codependency AND free resources.

I'll go even further, since this asshole pancakce wasn'T there at all during the whole semester 2011, why ot also not be there during the first repetition....... such that would'Ve missed ocmpletel and probably sat next to someone else and I would've missed out on this shit story alltgether..... then things would'Ve turned out completely different, because truth is I played the whole semester, I played in the concert and that asshole person merely showed up at the after party ognoring me............. and I politely after sitting by the people I newly net at the end to check out whats up and that person just went away........ so probably we would've never met, or just once at distance and this in reality never established ocntact at all, and then I would'Ve not tlaked to that shit person, and then would'Ve had different ideas and probably oriented differently and orobably went into medicine or brain research or some shit and met a NORMAL girl who would've been good for me and good to me without being insane in her head...... and the dynamic would'Ve been normal like with enjoying to simpl walk around and walking along the river, you see I turn around in my thinking and ideas....... .and that is absolutely okay....... becaue that'S the kind of stuffI liked to do instead of going insane on massive trips and hotel s and consulting and business meetings and buisiness onctacts and relationships and business ties and shit............ you already see what they actually did to me THEY FucKING TREATED ME LIKE A BuSINESS CARD LIKE A BUSINESS CONTACT........ and that'S how I felt also
Alex Payzer congratulations good for you. You’ll make a great mother I know it! Especially if you are learning now mental attitudes to have around your children! Go you!
This has got to be the most empowering interview to date. Very informative and the conversation between the two are genuine! Great job Ashley and the entire team! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 It will be awesomeeeee if we can get to see ladies like Adriana Lima, Jessica Alba, Tara Lynn, Nicole Mejia and Ali Wong to be interviewed next! Suggestion given for your consideration! 😊❤
OMG that resonated with me alot "planning is freedom" people always say that I'm not easy going or like spontaneous (in some situations where it is beneficial I am) but planning sets you free from that thought and puts you at ease i feel
@@tekgid433 this comment actually proves you have not listened to the podcast. Or you just have sh*t critical thinking skills. Maybe both. Anyway 👋👋👋 troll.
This came at exactly the right time! Recently going through a break up where it was a mature ending but I feared the codependency, and I didn’t speak up for what I wanted. This episode showed me that I am able to accept rejection as a step in the right direction for better things to come! I love this podcast and look forward to more ❤️

This is the first Pretty Big Deal show that I have watch and honestly it was very insightful. I feel like everyone who are in their teens/ young adult life should watch this because it is great. Thank you and keep up the good work Whitney Cummings and Ashley Graham!
One of the best conversations ever with a couple of my fav ladies! Ashley is gorgeous as usual, but that baby belly takes it up about 50 notches to knockout. Two intelligent women talking about real life things...bliss.
Half way through and I am loving this interview. Ashley does a great job and keeps it nicely paced yet relaxed. Whitney is so candid and insightful. Yes, definitely enjoying this.
Positive reinforcements: you guys covered a lotta ground in 45 minutes and I actually learned a thing or two about the inner weavings of what some women go through. We do need more female bosses; it seems as though us men tend to fuck things up, more often than not.
This was a great girl talk. It kind of made my morning 😊 but really I appreciate so much Whitney offering this info about codependency and how she handles her urges. Right on👍
Say what you mean, mean what you say without being mean. Boundaries aren't easy. AlAnon Is amazing! Saved my life. For free! 🙏🏻 God grant me the serenity. I didn't cause it. I can't control it. I can't change it. I can't cure it. Thank you for sharing your courage strength hope and experience with us!! People recover when Recovered people recover together .... step 1! 💯💪🏻
ModerateWisco Momma You ill resonate with this alternate version of the serenity prayer then... “God rgant me the serenity to accept the PEOPLE I cannot change, the courage to change the ONE I can, and the wisdom to know it’s ME!”
This was so much fun to watch. Whitney's special actually really helped me with my own self-confidence about my body image and this just made me realize how codependent I am. Holy shit.
“The thing right now that you want so bad that you didn’t get- you’re gonna look back and think: thank god I didn’t get it” That was insanely refreshing
More people need to get on this, its amazing… two honest and beautiful minds talking about life? Mind blowing! Thank you sooo much for putting it out on the internet
Oh my god, I think I found another female role model. I already thought Whitney was hilarious, but I didn't know how intelligent and accomplished and down to earth she was! So cool-thank you for having her on, Ashley! (love you too!)
I came to laugh because I love Whitney, but I didn't expect to be enlightened with my own healing needs 😢I'm saving this interview to rewatch as necessary ❤️
Just found you through searching for Whitney videos and this was such an open and honest interview. It was so candid and seems so genuine. I watched a couple others and now I’m subbed. Thank you for creating a real space.
Loved, loved LOVED this episode so much! The way Whitney's mind works and how she has worked and is continuing to work on herself to improve even more is beyond inspirational. Thank you for sharing this!
I knew I had some issues I needed to work out with my therapist but having Whitney describe a majority of those and label it as co dependency really opened my mind into understand the root to the problem and has led me to solutions on how to improve on my mental insecurities. My favourite guest so far!
This video made me realize.. I somehow have managed to teach all these important lessons to myself. I have overcome the codependency in my relationship and we are in a very good place.. still needs some tweaking but doesn't everybody. Lol. This video was confirmation for me. Thank you Ashley and Whitney.. 😇🥰
Oh my goodness, Whitney is so wise! I loved this conversation from beginning to end I have learnt so much! I'm so glad I came back to watch this because I initially skipped it because I'm not really familiar with Whitney. I've always seen her specials on Netflix & they're in my list to watch at some point but I definitely need to find her podcast, her IG (even though she doesn't use it much) & definitely need to watch her specials. Such a great interview!!
Good for you! I agree, I’d rather be single and embrace the positives of it than settle for a lousy relationship! My mom has been married four times and always put men first in her life. She 60 and never been that happy.
Mkinfknsndwyches! Same here... my mother struggles with singleness and settles for unhealthy relationships. Relationships are beautiful when they are healthy.
Lovely to watch the openness and the self awareness Witney demonstrates.....All the work done to put herself first truly made her embrace her true self. Thank you! Did not know how big of a deal she was :)
I love the content covered in this interview. Very insightful and motivational! I can definitely relate to many hardships both Whitney and Ashley have gone through, but recognizing the biochemical science behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is liberating. Thank you for being so open and honest.
Excellent points Whitney. Codependency is rooted in enabling the bad behaviours of others. We are the "helpers," the advice givers, the "my love will change him/make him better," we are the people who stop for wounded animals and we have people in our lives because we pity them. Once you recognize these behaviours in yourself, you can begin to heal and work on bettering yourself. If you cannot love who you are, there is no way you can have a healthy and successful relationship with anyone else. Shout out to CoDA!!!!!
I am 38 years old and SO did not connect my dating guys where I settled to my worries about getting older and not having kids. WOWZA. That was a big moment for me, thanks ladies! (Also did not realize until I've heard Whitney speak about it that I am co-dependent and that has been so great for me to realize.)
The same thing happened to me when I decided I'm going to adopt, about easing up off the self pressure over starting a family. I started my education late, I'm going for a PhD, and I have depression/anxiety, so it's going to be a long road. It made me ease up when I realized this was a very viable option for me.
I've always been such a huge fan of whitney Cummings... ever since she was on Chelsea lately as a writer and a guest star ... loved 2 broke girls and undatedable and I LOVED THE SHOW WHITNEY I own it on dvd I loved it so much. I feel like ot was before it's time. If it came out now ... it would be the new friends ! Love this show ... I learn so much from it ... the positivity in supporting women inspires me !!
Whitney Cummings is not just an absolut hilarious comedian but a really self reflected and intelligent person ... I actually had a few insights about myself watching this interview 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing this conversation with us. I keep talking with other people about this, how women wait for perfection and showing what they've already accomplished, while men can get ahead on potential. We need to dare take those steps forward too, an I will be taking my steps that I've been holding back on for months now, that I knew I needed and wanted to do but I haven't done yet because of this inherent fear. Thank you so much.
I saw a few comments about putting the person you are interviewing in the thumbnail and I just wanted to say thanks for doing that! It grabs your attention before you even decide to watch it.
You have to get the book "Codependency No More" (By Melodie (sorry forgot last name)- it is a life changing book- really discusses why we have these tendencies and how to create boundaries.
Codependency is rooted in your childhood. It is often from the relationship that you had/have with a narcissistic parent. As a child, you probably were not validated (being told that who you are is ok). You probably were not allowed to express your emotions. Being a codependent person is dangerous because we keep people around us who are toxic in the hope that "we can fix them."
It’s so refreshing to see and hear two smart, sensitive, strong, highly opinionated and beautiful women in modern media talk about real and daily issues women of all ages face, thank you.
Women are constantly told about "daily issues women of all ages face", which only makes us feel even worse. Everyone faces challenges men and women. Accept it and move it.

For the first time I finally realized that I am indeed co-dependent. Whitney literally spoke to me when she was talking about the subject.

Fantastic interview. I've got so many points I want to really look into from this.
Excellent points Whitney. Codependency is rooted in enabling the bad behaviours of others. We are the "helpers," the advice givers, the "my love will change him/make him better," we are the people who stop for wounded animals and we have people in our lives because we pity them.
Once you recognize these behaviours in yourself, you can begin to heal and work on bettering yourself. If you cannot love who you are, there is no way you can have a healthy and successful relationship with anyone else.
Shout out to CoDA!!!!!

I've always been such a huge fan of whitney Cummings... ever since she was on Chelsea lately as a writer and a guest star ... loved 2 broke girls and undatedable and I LOVED THE SHOW WHITNEY I own it on dvd I loved it so much. I feel like ot was before it's time. If it came out now ... it would be the new friends ! Love this show ... I learn so much from it ... the positivity in supporting women inspires me !!
These interviews keep getting better and better 💜
Loved this interview so hard, shared it on all my social platforms. Thank you wonderful ladies !!! I ❤
Whitney Cummings is not just an absolut hilarious comedian but a really self reflected and intelligent person ... I actually had a few insights about myself watching this interview 🙏🏻
I don't know how this popped in my suggestiona. But I am so greatful for this . Whitney you saved me . Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this conversation with us. I keep talking with other people about this, how women wait for perfection and showing what they've already accomplished, while men can get ahead on potential. We need to dare take those steps forward too, an I will be taking my steps that I've been holding back on for months now, that I knew I needed and wanted to do but I haven't done yet because of this inherent fear.
Thank you so much.
I saw a few comments about putting the person you are interviewing in the thumbnail and I just wanted to say thanks for doing that! It grabs your attention before you even decide to watch it.
I feel less “crazy” I mean I feel like so much related to her and her probs... I’m doing the work now it feels like fire but thank u ❤️
Two of my fav ladies! Love this!
Whitney might have changed my life forever with these explanations. Thank you Ashley and Whitney
Whitney is the best. Love her!
I love when 2 people I love are in the same room! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot get over how gorgeous Whitney is
I wish I could press more thumbs up. This interview is so empowering! Love how natural they are.
The first time seeing Whitney Cummings ... Valuable and very relevant podcast 💕💕
Love the show! Love the episode! Thank you both for doing this and talking about important things!)
This was hard to watch and realize I am 100% co-dependent 😭
Me too!! I always feel obligation to do stuff for others an never myself! I had no idea that I am co-dependent as well!! Ughh
I know!! I guess I’m glad we found out and can work on it!! Just one more thing on my list lol
Give 12step CoDa meetings a try, you are not alone and can overcome it
You have to get the book "Codependency No More" (By Melodie (sorry forgot last name)- it is a life changing book- really discusses why we have these tendencies and how to create boundaries.
Codependency is rooted in your childhood. It is often from the relationship that you had/have with a narcissistic parent. As a child, you probably were not validated (being told that who you are is ok). You probably were not allowed to express your emotions. Being a codependent person is dangerous because we keep people around us who are toxic in the hope that "we can fix them."
These two ladies are hillarious. I loved every minute of the show
This is soo great. This is how we can better ourselves with all the female perspectives, knowledge and wisdom about our lives that matter.
This was an amazing interview!!
Probably my favourite Pretty Big Deal. I've watched this one about six times.
