Getting More Cooperation and Feeling Appreciated with Michelle Runnels

We women love taking care of others. It's part of our DNA.  But far too often, we do it so often that we lose sight of who we are as people, what we want, and even what we like to do. We know what everyone else likes, what they want, what their dreams and desires are. But when asked about our own, we seem to be at a loss. Sometimes we take such good care of those folks that we live with, that they become dependent on us - which can feel good, until we need some help. And then, when we ask for the help, it doesn't come. It gets frustrating, and we become resentful. And then we find ourselves yelling about stupid stuff - which isn't even the real problem. So what is it? In episode 18 of the Done with Dieting Podcast, my guest, Michelle Runnels, shares so much amazing knowledge and so many truth bombs that you'll be laughing, nodding your head along, and saying 'yeah, I do that.' When it comes to how we ask for what we want in our relationships - our relationships with other women, our children and our partners.
