Are you a woman in your 20s or 30s feeling overwhelmed by all the mixed expectations put on you by friends and family? Have high standards but don’t be picky! Learn how to love yourself but stay open to meeting someone! Love isn’t everything but make sure you get married by thirty! If these mixed messages resonate, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to I Needed This, a podcast about dating, healthy relationships and what it actually means to find yourself. We’re Lauren, Jessi, Julie and Elizabeth, licensed mental health counselors and licensed professional counselors who joined together to discuss all the trials and tribulations we’ve experienced as women in our 20s and 30s both in and outside of session. As therapists, we have conversations around love and dating multiple times a week. I Needed This was born out of our desire to bring meaningful conversations with friends into the limelight. Tune into I Needed This, your new favorite podcast to learn about how to spot an avoidant, what it actually means to figure out who you are and why it’s so important to build meaningful friendships in a time where everything can feel uncertain.
