157 | Effective Communications & The Power of Expressing Our Needs | Dr. Ioana Popa

As Christian women professionals, how many times have we been performing well, excelling, and offering support to everyone around us—only to find ourselves caught off guard by an unexpected comment? Many of us weren’t culturally trained to express our needs, especially in fast-paced environments like work, home, or church. Sometimes, we’re stunned into silence; other times, we react with frustration, leaving us displeased with ourselves afterward. In today’s episode, I’ll unpack why these moments happen and how they relate to our unmet needs. I’ll also share what lies beyond our anger, frustration, and worry, and introduce a psychological process for identifying and expressing our needs while interacting with others.
