Have you ever caught yourself wanting just a little more—more rest, more space, more alignment—and instantly felt guilty for it?
Same. And this episode is for you.
Today, we’re peeling back the layers of that guilt and diving into why so many women (especially moms) have internalized the idea that wanting more means being ungrateful. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
We talk about how gratitude and desire can exist side by side—how you can love your life deeply and still feel the pull to grow, dream, or evolve. This isn’t about hustle or proving yourself. It’s about honoring the quiet parts of you that crave something just for you.
We’re sharing real-life examples, journaling prompts, and a gentle invitation to name what you want—without shame. If you’ve ever dimmed your desires to make others more comfortable, we hope this episode reminds you that your dreams are valid, and you don’t need to apologize for them.
✨ Grab your cozy drink, take a deep breath, and settle in. You are allowed to want more.
