“Society rewards women for saying yes to everyone else.” - Kemi Nekvapil Does the thought of articulating your needs and desires make you uncomfortable? It's probably no surprise to hear that humans, particularly women, have a challenging time speaking up for what they want and need. In this thoughtful conversation, Meg speaks with Kemi Nekvapil, author of ‘The Gift of Asking: A Women’s guide to owning her wants and needs without guilt’ and ‘Power: A Woman's Guide to Living and Leading Without Apology’. Their discussion explores the societal expectations that often lead women to prioritise others' needs over their own. You will learn why asking for what you need is actually a gift to oneself and a way to strengthen relationships. The episode delves into the impacts of not asking and provides valuable insights for cultivating better communication and connection. Join Meg and Kemi and learn the transformative power of asking for what you want. *** Teachers: What do you need to thrive? - complete survey *** Episode 87 Shownotes - click here Weekly Newsletter - subscribe here Booking Requests - complete form The School of Wellbeing is one of the best health and wellbeing podcasts for teachers, educators and school leaders!
