Thrivesters , this conversation is the one you didn’t know you needed.
How many times have you heard “advocate for yourself,” or “you have to meet your own needs,” and thought… but I don’t even know what I need?
This week, I’m joined by the brilliant and deeply grounded Mara Glatzel - author of Needy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your Sovereignty. She's a coach, writer, mother of dragons (okay, daughters), and the queen of helping women stop outsourcing their well-being and start reclaiming their relationship with themselves.
Together, we go deep into the real reason why even the most accomplished, self-aware women (yes, you) still put themselves last - and how to finally stop.
You’ll hear:
✨ How to rebuild your relationship with yourself - and why most of us have to
✨ The invisible ego payoff of “doing it all” - and how it’s secretly draining your joy
✨ How to know when a relationship is draining you - and what to do about it
✨ The difference between what you need and what you want (yes, both matter)
✨ How to handle people who are uncomfortable with your thriving
✨ What toxic productivity really is and how to break the cycle without giving up your ambition
✨ 3 powerful prompts to begin (or deepen) your self-partnership today
Plus: We unpack Zumba obsessions, the dangers of shrinking to be liked, and why being “too much” might be exactly what you’re here for.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your to-do list, disconnected from your joy, or unsure of what you even want anymore - this episode will light a fire in you.
So after you’ve listened, and maybe more than once - share this episode with the person you know needs to hear it - then to out there are THRIVE like you mean it!
Quote to remember:
“If you are a human, you have needs. And getting your needs met is your responsibility - but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.” - Mara Glatzel
