There's often a fine line between love and neediness, especially for men. Women have a sixth sense to sniff out neediness, which can leave you confused and unconvinced unconditional love even exists.

But when you look closely into the differences between love and neediness, you'll see how diametrically opposed these two states are.

Love comes from a place of abundance, neediness from lack. Love is based on internal validation, neediness on external validation.

But if you can't even tell the difference between the two, it's impossible to bridge the gap from neediness to love.

So, how can you bridge the gap and transform neediness into love?

In today's episode, you'll discover the difference between love and neediness, practical steps to cultivate self-love and suffocate neediness, and how to nurture unconditional love in relationships (even if neediness rears its ugly head).
