Season 2, Episode 4: Reclaiming the Part of Me That Wants More

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Why is it so much easier to want more for everyone else than it is for yourself?

If you’ve ever talked yourself out of your dreams because they felt selfish, unrealistic, or like they would somehow take away from someone else, this episode is for you. In this episode, we’re reclaiming the part of ourselves that wants more.

Earlier this season, we explored the question, What do I need? Today, we’re taking it one step further with a question that can feel even more uncomfortable: What do I really want?

I’m sharing the beliefs that kept me settling in my business, relationships, and even my own vision for my life and the conversation with my accountant that forced me to confront why I didn’t believe I deserved more. 

We’ll unpack the guilt that often surrounds our desires, why wanting more doesn’t make you selfish, and how honoring your own dreams can actually make you more present, generous, and fulfilled.

Because here’s the truth: your life is supposed to benefit you, too.

IN THIS EPISODE

  • Why asking “What do I really want?” can feel more difficult than asking “What do I need?”
  • The beliefs that keep us settling and convincing ourselves our desires are selfish or undeserved.
  • My simple One Area. One Desire. One Move. exercise to help you reconnect with what you truly want.
  • The personal story that changed how I run my business and why I stopped undercharging and overgiving.
  • Why reclaiming your desires isn’t about becoming selfish – it’s about creating a life that is sustainable, joyful, and fully yours.

THIS WEEK, BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS BY…

Admitting that you want more. Give yourself permission to name your desires without apologizing for them. Simply acknowledging what you truly want is the first step toward reclaiming it.
