Most of us try to reject the parts of ourselves that make us human to fit a societal mold. Today we’re here to tell you: It’s OK to be human! In this episode we explain the desire we sometimes feel to fit into societal expectations, why that negatively impacts our needs and how we can better meet our needs by acknowledging and embracing our humanity.

In this episode, we cover…

  • How a lot of us have this internal belief that if we are perfect then our needs will be met and that if we are perfect enough, we will feel that we are good enough and feel good internally
  • How embracing our humanity is a journey
  • How trying to be superhuman actually prevents us from getting our needs met
  • How this podcast is a great example of how we embrace our humanity 
  • How when we think about our needs, we think of perfectionism and societal expectations of success
  • How we can meet our needs better by acknowledging and embracing our humanity
  • How perfectionism can get in the way of progress
  • The importance of focusing on what outcome we want
  • How the strive towards perfectionism and meeting societal expectations cost our needs 
  • The difference in getting a dopamine hit from reaching a societal expectation and feeling truly fulfilled 
  • How progress and growth is not linear 
  • How success as humans is to have our needs fulfilled and how we live in a society that works against that
  • How we need to unlearn the conditioning around what we are “meant” to be doing and learning that part of our humanity is being imperfect
  • How we need to stay connected to our needs as human beings and take care of our needs in order to feel fulfilled
  • How it’s ok to take care of our needs despite the societal conditioning not to be human
  • How not only is it ok to be human, it’s ok to be fallible, it’s ok to be imperfect
  • How there are no two humans that are alike and how we shouldn’t strive to fit a mold 
  • How by connecting to our humanity, we are able to connect to other people’s humanity and how this interconnectedness gets our needs better met
  • How being human means that we are worthy of having our needs met simply because we exist
  • How by connecting to this, we can connect to how essential it is to get our needs met 
  • How taking care of our needs might mean unlearning or rejecting certain concepts that we have been conditioned into 
  • How when we have moments where we are judging and/or berating ourselves for being human and having human moments, we are negatively impacting our needs 
  • How these human moments are an invitation to lean into our humanity and allow ourselves to be human
  • A reminder to embrace our humanity and meet our needs in a Selfirst way
  • How an area of fighting our humanity is parenting. Parents often try to be perfect for their children but by showing our humanity and learning from our mistakes, we are also giving permission to our children to be human
  • How leaning into our humanity does not happen overnight but through small daily steps
  • How we fear being human because we don’t think that our needs are going to be met
