South — Your core needs
Foundation
What do I need to thrive?
What does Foundation mean?
Our ability to thrive depends on more than mindset and motivation. It also depends on whether our physical, emotional, relational, environmental and personal needs are being met.
Foundation helps you understand both your universal human needs and the preferential needs and conditions that are uniquely important to you.

- You crave a deeper sense of belonging, stability or connection.
- You struggle to regulate your emotions, or sometimes struggle to feel them at all.
- You find it difficult to ask for or receive support, even when you need it, and often feel you have to manage everything on your own.
- You're moving through life on autopilot, with a quiet feeling that something might fall apart if you don't slow down.
