I Am Not Afraid To Ask For What I Need

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of asking for what you need and setting boundaries without guilt.

This week’s mantra is: "I Am Not Afraid to Ask for What I Need." Speaking up for yourself can feel vulnerable, but honoring your needs is a powerful act of self-respect. This episode explores how to get clear on what you truly need emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and how to ask for it without guilt or apology. Asking is not about being too much. It is about trusting your worth and allowing others to meet you with care. This mantra invites you to use your voice, set clear boundaries, and believe that your needs matter.Mantra is an OpenMind Original Podcast, powered by PAVE Studios.
