The inconvenience of being human with Mara Glatzel

In this episode, we’ll explore the idea of having needs and the consequences of ignoring them with intuitive coach, writer, and podcast host, Mara Glatzel. Mara will help us understand that it's okay to have needs and how we can embrace them as a courageous act of care of ourselves. 

Mara deeply understands how we often relegate our needs to the bottom of a long to-do list in an attempt to prove our worth. She believes that the ultimate act of self-care is rebuilding the breach in our relationship with ourselves so that we can truly feel seen, heard, and adored by ourselves.

We dive into what it means to be human and have needs, how our definition of success can drive us to override our needs, and the consequences of ignoring them, including burnout, exhaustion, and illness. Mara also shares the importance of rest, not just physical rest, but also the need for inspiration and joy, which she calls active rest. This is a rich conversation that will help you understand and embrace your needs as an essential part of being human.
