Episode 21: The Emotional Hunger Games – with Virginia Mason Richardson
In this captivating episode of the I AM Self-ish podcast, host Will Wright is joined by writer, illustrator, and creative storyteller Virginia Mason Richardson for a rich conversation about what it means to navigate the “emotional hunger games.”
Together, they unpack the metaphor of emotional hunger—the deep, often hidden cravings for love, validation, and connection that drive much of our behavior.
They explore how emotional suppression impacts our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and how choosing authenticity over approval can be a radical act of self-love.
Through honest reflection and personal stories, Will and Virginia highlight the power of self-validation, the freedom in choice, and how emotional clarity can begin when we stop waiting for permission to be ourselves.
