About this episode

This episode challenges the misconception that having needs is a weakness and emphasizes the importance of expressing them for healthy relationships.

Somewhere along the way, you learned that having needs made you a burden. So you stopped asking. Then you started resenting. Then you called it "strength." Expecting your needs to matter isn't selfish. Silencing them until you burnout is. In this micro episode, I dismantle the lie that good men don't need anything and show how unspoken needs quietly rot relationships from the inside out.
