Reclaiming Your Needs

In this episode, I’m talking about something that changes everything once you see it… the needs you had growing up that were never met.
If you were raised in a narcissistic or emotionally unsafe environment, you may have learned that love had to be earned, your feelings were “too much,” mistakes weren’t allowed, and saying no came with consequences. You may have never felt protected when you were hurt, never felt safe to be vulnerable, and never truly felt like you could just exist as your own person.
And here’s the truth… those weren’t flaws in you.
Those were needs that went unmet.
In this episode, I walk through the core human needs we all have—and what it looks like when they aren’t honored in childhood. I also share how those patterns quietly follow us into adulthood… showing up as people-pleasing, fear of judgment, self-doubt, and feeling like you have to earn your worth.
But this isn’t just about awareness.
This is about reclaiming.
Because you get to:
- Be loved without performing
- Have your feelings validated
- Make mistakes without shame
- Feel protected and supported
- Say no without guilt
- Exist as your full, authentic self
- Be vulnerable without it being used against you
You are not “too much.”
You were just never given what you needed.
And now… you get to give that to yourself.
