Have you ever felt like your partner just doesn’t get what you need? Maybe you’ve asked for something (more than once!) and felt crushed when they didn’t follow through. It’s frustrating, right? In this episode, we’re diving into the tricky—but super important—difference between needs, wants, and desires in relationships. I’ll share some hard-won lessons about what’s really hiding underneath those requests and how to talk about them in a way that actually lands.

We’ll also chat about how shadow work and inner child healing can totally change the way you show up in your relationships. Plus, I’ve got some tips for speaking your truth with confidence and kindness.

This episode is for you if:

* You feel unheard or misunderstood when you ask for what you need.

* You’re not sure how to tell the difference between a want, a desire, and a deeper need.

* You’re ready to build healthier, more honest communication in your relationships.
