268: How to Communicate Your Needs as a Mom with Author Mara Glatzel

Today, we’re revisiting a popular episode from the vault–How to Communicate Your Needs as a Mom with Mara Glatzel, author of Needy. 

As moms, we’re often socialized to be selfless—to put everyone else’s needs above our own, leaving us on the backburner. But when we deplete ourselves and neglect our own needs, it often leads to mental health struggles, resentment, relationship conflict, and burnout. Unlearning that socializing and discovering how to communicate your needs isn’t always easy. 

On today’s vault episode, Mara and I discuss why moms deserve to be a priority and how they can take responsibility for their own needs.
