Tending your inner ecosystem with Mara Glatzel

On meeting your needs, the art of receiving, gentle discipline & building capacity

Today I have the deep pleasure of sharing with you this delicious conversation with Mara Glatzel. Mara (she/her) is a coach, podcast host, and the author of Needy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your Sovereignty. She teaches fellow needy humans to uncover the most vulnerable and true expressions of themselves, and learn how to deeply tend to their needs. Through her online programs, workshops, and retreats, Mara supports people to reclaim space for their own humanity and create ambitious lives filled with meaning, without abandoning themselves in the process.

In the episode we dig deep into:

  • Sustainable self care & meeting our needs through the transition into motherhood

  • Getting to know your needs– experimentation & self advocacy

  • Growing the capacity & practice of being with Self

  • The idea of “discipline” and playing with generating discipline that feels both doable, non-shaming and even fun (gasp!)

  • Generating wellbeing by being present to what’s working & what’s already going well

  • Building capacity to receive (from other people and Self)

  • Shifting towards being with the hard stuff, the imperfection without treating it like a problem to be solved
