Many of us have been trained not to have needs, and if we do have them not to focus on them. But that’s not healthy for ourselves, our partners or our relationships. That’s why in Podcast Episode #17, we explore how tending to our own needs is not only not selfish … it actually benefits our partner and our relationship, too. We also explore how it can naturally unfold through a process of seeing things as they are (mindfulness), remembering we are not alone (common humanity) and following through with care (kindness).
