I'm saying this clearly: what you want is not random — and ignoring it is costing you more than you realise.

In this episode of Staying on Top with Sophie, I'm challenging the way women have been taught to downplay, dilute, and apologise for their desires. If you've ever told yourself to "be realistic," "be grateful," or "aim a bit smaller" — this conversation is for you.

We're talking about why your desire is a signal, not a fantasy. Why recurring wants don't disappear — they wait. Why shrinking your goals doesn't make you safer, it makes you restless. And why that low-level frustration you can't quite name might actually be the gap between the life you want and the life you're allowing yourself to pursue.

This episode is for the woman who knows she's capable of more, but has been editing herself to stay acceptable. The one who can picture the next version of her life — even if she hasn't fully admitted it out loud yet.

Listen if you're ready to stop negotiating with a life that no longer fits, get honest about what you want, and start moving like someone who intends to have it.
