Needy. Let that word sit with you for a minute. What images, memories, connotations, and/or feelings does it bring up? Probably not great ones, amirite? 😬 Well, today’s guest, Mara Glatzel, is on a mission to help us reclaim neediness and empower us to start tending to our own needs through self-responsibility, self-trust, and self-love.
As Mara says, we live in a world that expects women to be perfectionists and people-pleasers. Starting with this conversation, let’s all take a significant step toward ending the pathologizing and demonizing of neediness, especially when it comes to women.
HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE GOODNESS…
“Self-care is not self-improvement.”
“Being present is enough.
We don’t have to be perfect.”
“Accepting imperfection doesn’t mean lowering your standards.
It means really accepting things as they are.”
“If we’re not used to listening to ourselves,
we don’t know what our own voice sounds like.”
