You're listening to the Love Over Addiction Podcast. Hey, it's Michelle. How are you all doing today? I'm doing well. I've got a good story for you. So we're

going to talk about the importance of asking for what you need. And this is one of those topics that you can easily go,

well, I've got that figured out. I don't really need to hear about that anymore or I always ask for what I need. I just don't get it.

And that's okay if that's how you're feeling but if you are tempted to skip this week's

podcast I would ask you to reconsider just hear me out let me make my case

because I want to make sure that just hear me out, let me make my case,

because I want to make sure that if you're asking for what

your need and you're not receiving it,

I want to double check that you're asking in the right way.

And then also if you feel like you're asking for what you need and maybe you're not receiving it that you're not holding on to that

resentment or maybe you're not holding on to that resentment.

Or maybe you're asking for what you need and it's not unrealistic ask.

Like what you need is not something that your partner can give you at this season of their life.

So we're going to cover it all today.

We're going to go into how to get what you need in your life.

And if your partner can't give it to you,

then maybe you can give it to yourself.

Or if it's something that you know

know romantic or involves feeling loved then maybe it's time we take a look at the fact that it might be time to consider

leaving. I know that was scary what I just said. I totally get it and I know that the

even when somebody begins to talk about the idea of leaving your relationship, it can cause great feelings of anxiety.

So we're going to go slow and I'm going to walk you through everything and I'm going to remind you that I am right here with you.
