Hey everyone, welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

If you're new to the podcast, thanks for joining us today.

This is where we explore the practical science of personal growth, and if you've

listened before, welcome back.

Last week's episode focused on getting in touch with what we need, and once we get to

the point of knowing our wants and needs and desires, we still have a pretty big hurdle

to face, stepping into them for ourselves and expressing those needs to other people.

And that's what we're going to be focusing on today.

To help us learn to do that, I'm joined as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson, because a clinical

psychologist, best-selling author, and he's also my dad.

So dad, how are you doing today?

I'm good, and I'm super psyched about this topic.

Yeah, very much the same.

I was really happy with how our previous conversation turned out.

I think it's going to be helpful for a lot of people, and I'm looking forward to talking

more about it today.

Before we get into it, a couple of quick reminders.

First, if you haven't already, please subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening

to it.

Now, indeed, your subscription.

Oh, man, you think we have ice fries there, dad, you're just like, I can't fall it together.

That was good.
