Ep 7 - Tired of Feeling Resentful? How to Communicate What You Need, Stop the Guessing Games, & Let Go of Resentment


Listen Later

Have you ever felt that creeping resentment when others just don’t seem to understand what you need? You’re not alone. In this episode, I'll dive into the importance of assertively (and politely!) communicating our needs to those around us, so we can let go of frustration and build healthier, more supportive relationships.

 

Expressing what we need isn’t just about better relationships; it’s essential for our mental and physical health. When we’re clear and open with others, we reduce stress, avoid misunderstandings, and stop expecting them to read our minds.

 

Today, let's think about simple, actionable ways to start speaking up... and explore why doing so can help us feel happier, healthier, and more in control of our lives.

 

Key Points Covered:

  • How we often expect others to “just know” what we need (and why that expectation leads to frustration)
  • Why it's important to build confidence in expressing what we need
  • Ways to clearly communicate our needs to family, friends, and colleagues in a way that’s both assertive and respectful
  • The connection between unmet needs, resentment, and our overall well-being
  • How better communication can lead to better boundaries and even decrease career burnout
  •  

    Tune in to learn:

    • Why being open about your needs isn’t selfish—it’s essential for healthy, fulfilling relationships.
    • Simple approaches to clearly express yourself without guilt.
    • How speaking up can reduce stress and boost your emotional and physical health.
