Tired of feeling overwhelmed by "shoulds" and "musts"? In this episode, we're tackling the most insidious four-letter word that's not a curse: "need." We'll explore why using "need" instead of "want," "choose," or "prefer" is causing you unnecessary stress and limiting your perspective.

Discover the crucial difference between genuine needs and the countless wants we mistake for them. Learn how shifting your language can liberate you from self-imposed pressure and cultivate a healthier understanding of your choices. We'll dive into practical strategies for replacing "need" with empowering alternatives and examine the subtle distinction between "need" and "needy."

Join us as we unpack how changing one word can transform your perspective, alleviate pressure and help you live a more intentional and fulfilling life.
