Ep 156: The Courage to Want More (Without Feeling Guilty About It)


Listen Later

We’re taught to be grateful for what we have — but what about when gratitude starts to feel like a cage? What about when we feel the tension of wanting more, yet feeling…like we’ll be too much, or others will judge it, or it’ll completely disrupt our lives?

Let’s move past that limitation, and step into the courage to want more. I’m talking about how to embrace desire without guilt and why wanting “more” — more freedom, more meaning, more joy — doesn’t make you ungrateful or selfish. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between healthy, grounded desire and fear-based striving, and how to honor your growth without apologizing for it.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more — in your work, your relationships, or your life — this conversation will help you reframe desire as an act of courage, not greed.

Because courage isn’t about settling. It’s about expanding.
