This week I dive deep into one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools for personal growth: asking ourselves 'what do I need?' This episode is all about acknowledging that you are worthy of having your needs met. I share stories about my own therapy breakthroughs, treadmill revelations, and health wake-up calls. I also share practical ways to start meeting your needs as this is a huge unlock for how to get unstuck in whatever emotional wave, or less-than ideal situation you may be spinning in.
Episode Highlights:
Why asking 'What do I need?' is a game changer and why it can be so hard
What it can look like to honor your needs in the moment
How our bodies speak the truth when we ignore what we truly need
The way vulnerability and needs are connected
Quotables:

"I want you to feel what you're feeling. Let those emotions come up. Because emotions are energy in motion, and if you help them to keep moving, they will transform."

"Giving yourself what you need might literally mean I'm taking a vacation, I'm giving myself what I need, but it also might mean I need to ask somebody else to help me fill this need that I have."
[00:22:40]
"When we're not in the habit of really asking ourselves what our body needs, we can end up in a situation where our body is literally screaming at us and saying, Hey, you can't ignore this anymore."
