Do you feel truly supported by those around you? Do you struggle to communicate how best you could be supported? Joining us this episode is Shirl- Creator of the Support Languages™ framework, and host of the Shades of Strong Podcast.

In this episode we dive into:

What the support languages are and how they differ from love languages
Why self-care isn't enough
How to start asking for what you need
What to do when your needs aren't met by the people closest to you
Building community as an adult
