Ep 152. Why You Feel Guilty for Having Needs (And How to Stop)

As someone who used to pretend I have no needs, I'm just chill and easy going....all that lands you is resentment and feeling burnt out. Maybe you feel guilty for saying no, for needing rest, or simply taking up space and you ALWAYS move out of the way if someone is walking toward you. We're breaking down why guilt shows up in the first place (hint: it's not a personality flaw), how it's tied to your childhood conditioning and nervous system, and the exact steps to start releasing it so you can set boundaries without apology, ask for what you need without explanation, and finally trust yourself to choose you. Because guilt isn't keeping you safe — it's keeping you small. What you'll learn: Why guilt is a survival response, not a character trait How childhood conditioning taught you to abandon your needs The nervous system connection to people-pleasing and over-apologizing Practical tools to release guilt and build nervous system safety How to reframe self-care so it stops feeling selfish ⁠Apply to work with Lonnie⁠ ⁠Connect with Lonnie on Instagram⁠ ⁠Free Energy Audit If you’re loving the podcast, tap those 5 stars and share it to your stories.
