In this episode, I talk about friendships, romantic relationships, and the patterns that show up when you start learning how to express your needs instead of abandoning yourself to keep the peace. I share what I’ve been seeing in my clients, what I’ve learned through my own relationships, and why your needs are not too much, they are simply asking to be honoured.

I also open up about people-pleasing, the fear of disappointing others, seeking validation in relationships, and why receiving support can feel so uncomfortable when you’re used to doing everything on your own.

In this episode I cover:

· Why your needs are valid, even when someone else has different needs

· How people-pleasing creates resentment in friendships and dating

· Why disappointment doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong

· Why one friend or partner cannot be your whole village

· The belief behind feeling “too much,” difficult, or like a burden

· How to stop seeking validation from men, friends, or social media

· Why receiving support can feel uncomfortable when you’re used to doing everything alone

· How the relationship you have with yourself changes every relationship around you
