It's often easy to come up with the things we DON'T want in our lives - unhealthy relationships, money problems, illness - but why is it so hard to authentically answer the question...what do you want? In today's episode, I am sharing the 5 reasons why it's so difficult to answer this question (for women, especially!) and how to begin looking at this question holistically (without all of the judgment, self-doubt & fear) so you can find YOUR answer and create more possibility in your life.

I dive into:

• [6:00] Why we are often so clear on what we DON'T want - and why we need to get clear on what we DO!
• [9:00] One of the BIGGEST reasons women find it difficult to truly know what they want
• [11:40] A helpful resource that can help you get the authentic answer to this question!
• [12:20] The MOST IMPORTANT thing to understand when talking to your children about what they want (especially for parents of girls!)
• [17:00] How fear is playing a role in knowing what you want - and how to break this cycle
• [24:05] The THIRD reason you may struggle to answer the question "what do you want?" (hint: it's about taking action)
• [27:00] Why your self-worth is so important in answering this question (and why you don't need to PROVE your worthiness to anyone!!)
• [32:35] How patience & honesty will play a BIG role in discovering what you want
