105: How to Meet Your Own Needs in 4 Easy Steps
Think back to when you were a child. You looked at the adults around you and expected them to provide for you. You watched or listened to stories of Princes Charming and knights in shining armor saving the day. Then, when you became an adult yourself, you were expected to “leave childish things” behind.
But are you still expecting other people to meet your needs (like you’re stuck in some movie waiting for a partner to “complete you”)? Are you looking to others to fix something for you instead of helping you solve your problems? If so, let me help you take on the reins of responsibility here.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn my four-step process for meeting your own needs. I’ll also explain the gift that comes with higher needs and why fulfilling them yourself is so much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.
