I’ve mentioned previously that Boundaries are not the same thing as Needs, so in this episode, I break down the difference – particularly in how we communicate about them. (Pro tip: Your boundaries don’t require anything from anyone – other than you.)
Where Boundaries are essentially our resource limits and our responsibility to manage, Needs are things that we can sometimes provide for ourselves and sometimes ask for assistance with. Ideally, we can even find solutions that support the needs of both sides of the equation.
Listen or watch to learn some of the best techniques for getting your needs met! And here’s a handy reference guide to go along with what I share in this episode >> https://lovecoachmariya.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/NVCA-feelings-needs.pdf
