    The Language of Needs - S2 | E45

    Welcome to The Growth Junkies, a podcast dedicated to exploring personal and professional growth through the lens of psychology and spirituality. I'm your host, Ben, and joining me today is my co-host, Kent.

    In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into the language of needs. As humans, we all have basic needs that must be met in order for us to thrive. However, sometimes it can be difficult to articulate what those needs are, let alone communicate them effectively to others.

    We'll explore some of the most common needs that humans have, such as the need for love, belonging, and safety. We'll also discuss how our needs can vary depending on our personality, life experiences, and cultural background.

    Through our conversation, we'll provide practical tips and insights on how to identify your own needs and communicate them effectively to others. We'll also discuss the importance of creating healthy boundaries and the role they play in meeting our needs.

    So if you're looking to improve your communication skills and deepen your understanding of your own needs, you won't want to miss this episode. Tune in to The Growth Junkies to learn more about The Language of Needs, with your hosts Ben and Kent.

    Soulmate... True or False? - S2 | E43

    Do you have a soulmate? Are soulmates real? Ben and Kent talk about how they are and arent real. 

    “...and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment...”

    “Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.”
