episode 54: why "whatever you want" is not an answer

When someone asks your opinion on what to want to do, where you want to go out to eat, or what you want to watch, are you the person who says "whatever you want?"  Are you the type to "go with the flow," rather than face any sort of confrontation or disagreement?

If so, you're not alone.

In my 15+ year career as a tattoo artist, I see this all the time with clients when I ask for their opinion on a tattoo I might be designing for them.  "Oh, whatever you want, you're the artist."

No, no, no.

Saying this phrase is powerful, as are all of our words!  "Whatever you want" implies that what YOU really want doesn't matter.  That your opinions aren't important.  In this episode, we explore this relatively innocuous phrase and look at how it impacts the larger decisions in our lives.  Don't be that person who never expresses your own wants or needs or desires!
