#58 Wanting and Needing

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Catherine asks Roy what he really needs, and the two explore the difference between wanting and needing. Roy shares the question he asks people when they are shopping: is it a want or a need, and do you have the money for it? He talks about how putting a dollar value next to the tasks on his list helped him focus on the work that brings in money, rather than just the things he enjoys getting done. Catherine looks at it from her coaching work, where the honest answer to “why do I need a coach?” is that you don’t, but you may want one. She separates practical needs, like worn-out towels, from needs that come from a place of lack, where we feel we are not enough until we have more money, status or approval. She reflects on a life spent following what she wanted to do rather than what she thought she needed to do, and shares how a small section on emotional needs became the theme of a whole workshop. They leave listeners with the question: what do you want, and what do you really need?
