Exploring Human Needs and Emotions: A Deep Dive into the Crayon Box
/

In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the fundamental needs that drive our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Drawing inspiration from Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC philosophy, we uncover how each individual is driven by a unique set of needs that shape their perspectives and actions.  We talk about how coping mechanisms and defense mechanisms are an attempt to meet a need, and how those become “just who we are”.

Discover the intricate connection between emotions and unmet needs as we unravel the layers of human experience. We’ll dive into how our emotions serve as powerful indicators of underlying needs that are seeking fulfillment.

Through real-life examples and relatable anecdotes, we’ll illustrate how practicing NVC can lead to improved communication, deeper self-awareness, and more authentic connections with others. We’ll also share practical tips on how to identify your own needs and decode the messages your emotions are sending.

At the end of the episode, Hannah leads us through a short, beautiful moment of breathwork!

The Importance of Embracing the Ups and Downs in Your Inner Journey - Part 1
/

Embarking on an inner journey of self-discovery and personal growth is not a linear path of constant ascent; it’s a dynamic process that involves both highs and lows. While the highs represent moments of insight, expansion, and enlightenment, the lows offer opportunities for introspection, healing, and deep transformation. Learning to sit with those deep emotions can be an opportunity to really create resilience and grit, and it also such an opportunity to get to know your authentic self. With this, you are able to sit with people who are struggling, because you have gotten to know yourself at a greater depth, you can support and love others from that place.
