234. If You Can't Answer "What Do You Want"

We're taught that needs are legitimate and wants are indulgent.

This episode takes that apart. Mechelle teaches the root chakra as the home of our needs — the foundation of physical thriving — and the throat chakra as the home of our wants — the foundation of spiritual thriving, and explores why the two are a circuit rather than a ladder.

Plus: the difference between ask culture and guess culture, why hinting is a root-chakra strategy doing a throat-chakra job, and the request hiding underneath every hint. You'll learn how to tell a need from a want in your own body, and why resentment is almost always an unspoken want.

Closes with a guided practice: Ground and Ask.
