122: How to Ask for What You Need in Any Relationship with Kerstin Kirchsteiger

I don't know about you, but as a mom and a wife, I often get the message that I need simply need to stop being a martyr and ask for what I need if I want a more balanced or fulfilling life. Seriously, the biggest hurdle most of the moms and couples that I work run into is NOT that they don't ask for what they need, and it's NOT that they don't have a partner who is actively looking to support them (most of us do!); it's that they don't actually KNOW what they truly need in order to be able to ask for it. ​ And that is exactly the conversation I want to share with you today, along with my guest Kerstin Kirchsteiger. She is a Scientist turned Life & Leadership Coach. The emotional rollercoaster that motherhood took her on, led her to leave science and dive deep into the study of Emotional Intelligence. Her journey of motherhood and entrepreneurship made it clear that work-life integration is a topic most working, homeschooling moms struggle with. Leveraging her analytical nature combined with understanding for individualized solutions, she has created a system for moms to peel back the layers of obligations, expectations and guilt and build a life they're excited to get up for every day.

She has wonderful podcast called Work-Life Flow Podcast that I recommend for you to listen, too (I was a guest awhile back!)!
