In this episode, I take you back to a very specific moment in my childhood—when I was convinced that a pair of clogs, long hair, and painted nails would finally make me feel special.
At the time, it felt so real. So true.
But what I didn’t understand then—and what many of us still don’t fully see now—is this:
We don’t actually want the things we’re chasing.
We want how we think those things will make us feel.
And when we unknowingly assign our feelings to something outside of us…
we end up waiting.
Waiting for the weight loss.
Waiting for the relationship to change.
Waiting for the circumstances to line up.
In this conversation, we unpack that pattern and walk through a different way—one where you begin creating the feelings you desire from the inside out.
Not by pretending.
Not by forcing.
But by understanding how your thoughts are shaping your emotional experience—and learning how to shift them on purpose.
You’re not actually chasing the thing.
You’re chasing the feeling you believe the thing will give you.
And that feeling is more available to you than you think.
Pick one feeling you’ve been waiting for—confidence, calm, connection, peace.
Ask yourself:
“What would I be thinking if I already felt this?”
Write down a few thoughts—and practice thinking them on purpose.
Not perfectly. Just consistently.
If this episode resonated with you and you’re ready to take this work deeper, I’d love to support you.
