Summary
Be they romantic, friendships, work, familial, or otherwise, thinking about your wants and needs in this context matters. This week, I offer five reasons you might have a habit of expecting other people to meet your emotional wants and needs and vice versa.
As always, I’m sharing remedies for this thought error so you can stop turning over your agency to somebody else, and instead, state all of your beautiful wants and needs and meet them yourself.

| 0:00.0 | This is feminist wellness and I'm your host nurse practitioner functional medicine expert and life coach Victoria Albina. I'll be full heart. Welcome my love let's get started. |
| 0:26.8 | Hello hello my love and I hope this finds you doing so well. My goodness, this is the last episode of 2021, a 150th episode of the |
| 0:39.6 | Feminist Wellness Podcast, and what a strange and wild ride 2021 has been. So many ups, some downs, |
| 0:50.9 | a whole lot of COVID all around. I was in New York City the other weekend right before |
| 0:57.2 | Omicron took hold and it was so lovely to see things feeling you know we can really problematize the word |
| 1:06.1 | normal but to see people out masked you know everyone showing their vaccine |
| 1:11.2 | cards everywhere people being for the most part responsible and respectful and thoughtful of public health, but out and living a life outside of their homes again. |
| 1:22.2 | And here we are. |
| 1:23.0 | At the time of recording this, the Omicron variant is having its way with New York City. |
| 1:29.0 | And let's bring up a lot for me for all of us, especially I might say for all of us who were in New York City at the start of the pandemic, which is a particularly intense time last March of 2020. |

| 2:00.3 | I don't have any brilliant words of public health wisdom on this topic other than to say if you're exhausted and depleted and it all feels like a lot and your nervous system needs a break. I want to invite you to give you a break. |
| 2:17.3 | I want to invite you to take exquisite loving, gentle, compassionate care of you, because it's been a lot. |
| 2:26.0 | Right? |
| 2:28.0 | And we stepped into COVID while we were still dealing with a cheetow. |
| 2:32.0 | I mean, it's just been a lot. So love up on |
| 2:36.0 | yourselves. Give yourself some gentleness. And I'll be back next week with a show about my take on New Year's resolutions. |
| 2:46.1 | You know it's not going to be that normal like, it's the new day of the new year, |
| 2:50.9 | change your whole life, seeing, not my my jam but we'll talk about that next week. |
