Daily Shift 32 — You're Allowed to Need What You Need

In today's Daily Shift, we explore the idea that needs are not weaknesses — they're information. Many people learn to minimize, negotiate with, or judge their needs in order to appear strong, capable, or low-maintenance.

This episode is a gentle reminder that what you need doesn't require justification or comparison. Needs can change from day to day, and honoring them is an act of self-awareness, not self-indulgence.

By listening instead of arguing with your needs, your nervous system can soften and clarity becomes easier to access.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why needs are often minimized or judged

• How listening to your needs supports regulation

• The difference between self-care and self-permission

• Why honoring your needs doesn't require explanation

A gentle reminder from today's shift:

• You're allowed to need what you need

• Needs are information, not flaws

• Listening is enough

Take a pause and let this be permission to meet yourself where you are.
