You may have heard someone called a mother hen before, but what exactly does that mean? A mother hen is a person who worries about, cares for, or watches over other people. Often these are the caretakers in our life. They can be a parent, partner, or friend. Often these people will take care of the needs of others well before they ever take care of their own. While this is a wonderful and selfless thing, over the years it can become taxing on them. Does this sound familiar? If you are a caretaker in your life in any aspect or you place the needs and wants of others before your own, it is important that you learn now how to verbalize your needs. If you don’t tell others what you need from them, they may not think to respond, or they may simply not know what your needs are. Certain crystals that can help you verbalize your needs are essential to your spirit and wellbeing.
