#86: "I want them to just know. I don't want to have to ask."

In this episode, we explore why this longing is so common, especially for women who learned early on to minimise their needs, stay attuned to others, and keep the peace.We’ll unpack how the desire for someone to just know is often rooted in a fear of vulnerability, the fear of being seen, needing something, or risking disappointment. And why avoiding asking doesn’t actually protect us… it keeps our real needs unmet.In this conversation, we’ll explore:What’s really underneath the belief that “if I have to ask, it doesn’t count”How self-abandonment and people-pleasing keep us silentWhy asking is not neediness, but self-responsibilityThe difference between longing for attunement and avoiding vulnerabilityHow reclaiming your voice creates the possibility of being truly metThis episode isn’t about doing more emotional labour.It’s about learning how to name what you need and allowing others the chance to meet you there.🎁 Get my FREE masterclass on turning self-abandonment into unshakable self-trust💛 Done feeling like his mom?
