Summary

The whole idea of this episode is that, as women, we have to ask for what we need. And this takes practice. We were raised by a generation of women who did not speak up when it came to getting their needs met which is leading us to a lot of resentment and burnout. But today we talk through a few situations that have happened in our lives recently where we have stood up and asked for what we need.

We cover what getting our needs met from our partners looks like. We think they can read our minds and this just isn’t true. If you are feeling resentful towards your partner, you have an unmet need. We both share some things that work for us with Drew and Colin and hope they might help you as well.

The other two areas we cover are work and kids. You have to set boundaries with both. Whether you work inside or outside of the home, setting boundaries around these areas of your life will help you get what you need. We’ve recently implemented some changes with the role our kids play inside of our homes that will hopefully help aid them in becoming a more collaborative part of the family unit.

With all the things we cover in today’s episode, make sure you do what feels right for you. But also, in the moment, when something doesn’t feel right, speak up. We’re sensing a shift for our generation. We are starting to get our needs met. We are starting to ask for what we need. And that is a really great thing!

0:00.0	And so you just get honest, honesty is kind. I think that's the thing that women have
0:07.0	a hard time with. I would rather be honest and tell you what I'm going to do or what
0:13.4	I can't do, then pretend I can do everything at once or pretend I need to get back to
0:18.8	you right away.
0:20.1	I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others.
0:29.6	But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best south means standing firm
0:35.2	in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose.
0:39.1	We get vulnerable and real, with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all
0:44.4	face. Every woman listening is an opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.
0:53.2	Okay, you guys behind the scenes were here with a episode that we had to record very
1:00.7	last minute. One of our guests canceled and she had a lot going on, understandable. But
1:07.4	we didn't have an episode to fill in. So we are recording this one on the fly. But what
1:12.6	we did was we took a walk and we really thought about what we needed to hear, which is often
1:18.9	what you guys need to hear or like to hear. So this has been coming up in our own life
1:24.7	and we thought about a few different places where we could talk through, but also give
1:29.6	our own examples to help you guys understand how we're trying to put this into play.
1:34.8	So the whole idea of the episode is that as women, we really have to ask for what we
1:41.7	need. And we've almost been trained to appease other people. And then what happens is you
1:50.6	might have a couple kids, you might have a demanding career or you have a house to take
1:55.1	care of or a space to take care of. And then what happens is you start to feel resentful
2:01.3	and you start to feel like not yourself. And you get really critical of yourself like,
2:07.1	wow, I thought I was going to be a much more patient mother. I thought I was going
