In this episode, Annaliese and Alan discuss how much influence others have on our personal goals and self-perception. Annaliese highlights the challenges of feeling unsupported by others, how this can impact our sense of progress in life, and how to help ourselves get more of what we need, no matter how other people are showing up.

Questions to Ask Yourself:
- What areas in my life feel dependent on others’ support?
- What do I believe I’m missing without it?
- What can I start doing to better support myself?

PRACTICING SELF-SUPPORT:
- Notice your needs and how you can meet them independently by asking yourself reflective questions that help you see it:
-Who am I relying on to support my needs more? Have I communicated my need closely? Do I agree they can actually support me in this?
-Is this need something I can be giving to me? What need I can start meeting for myself? How can I act differently to do this better?
- Use your resources—time, money, energy—more mindfully to align with what truly matters to you.
- Practice self-compassion by anchoring yourself in truths you can repeat to yourself about your identity, reminding yourself you also have the power to meet your own needs.
