What You Need As A Midlife Mom
Do you ever wonder WHY you do what you do?
So much of our behavior is driven by the need to have an emotional need met.
According to author and speaker, Tony Robbins, there are six human needs that drive all of us — and understanding them can bring so much clarity and self-awareness.
On today’s episode I’ll apply my understanding of Robbins’ 6 needs to the empty nest stage of life during which midlife women are reimagining “what’s next” while mothering adult children.
The Six Needs
The need for safety, stability, comfort, and predictability.
Where in life do I need to feel secure?
The need for change, spontaneity, challenge, and excitement.
Where do I feel bored or restless?
The need to feel important, valued, and seen.
Where do I seek validation or a sense of mattering?
The need for belonging, closeness, and meaningful relationships.
Where do I feel connected — or disconnected?
The need to learn, evolve, and become more of who I am.
How am I stretching in this season?
The need to give, serve, and make a difference.
How am I offering my gifts to something bigger than myself?
Key Point
The first four needs help us feel emotionally safe.
The last two create deeper fulfillment.
Sometimes what feels like dissatisfaction is simply an unmet need.
Reflection Questions for Listeners
Closing
Understanding your needs helps you move from self-judgment to self-awareness.
Sometimes the discomfort you feel is simply information.
It may be showing you what your life is asking for next.
