“I Have Needs Too!” ...and so Do You. (Lessons from My Kids)

"I have needs too!" my 5 year old daughter yelled one day. It stopped me in my tracks. She was right. I wanted her to push aside her needs in order to make my life easier. And that wasn't the mom I wanted to be.

As I continued to reflect on that experience, I gained a new perspective on my daughter, myself, and about all women. How many of us are socialized from a very young age to ignore our own needs, whether physical or emotional? And what are the consequences of this? 

Ultimately, this journey has given me more compassion and deep, unconditional love for my daughter... and myself. 

I hope hearing this story does the same for you.
