In this punchy UNCUT mini-episode, Jenny Mitchell dives into one of the hardest questions many of us avoid: What do you want? Sounds simple, but if you're someone who identifies as a people-pleaser or is constantly tuned in to what others need, this question might leave you blank.

Jenny explores how our desire to keep the peace, avoid discomfort, or live up to unrealistic expectations can cloud our own internal compass. Drawing from her own journey as a leader and coach, she offers a loving (but firm) reminder: You can't have it all, at least not all at once, and leadership means choosing what you want and accepting what comes with it.

Listener Reflection: What do you really want and what are you willing (and not willing) to do to make it happen? Can you give yourself 10 quiet minutes to name it, write it down, and begin making a plan?
