How do you make a big decision… yogically?

In this episode, I explore what happens when you deeply desire something — a new job, a baby, a retreat, a training, a relationship — but don't actually have the capacity to hold it right now.

This is a conversation about desire, capacity, and the real conditions for clarity. Because so often we think we're confused, when really what's happening is that one part of us wants something badly, and another part of us knows we don't have the bandwidth.

In this episode, I explore:

🔹 The difference between desire and capacity and why both matter

🔹 Why high desire + low capacity creates pain, burnout, and resentment

🔹 A yogic framework for understanding hard decisions through polarity

🔹 Simple somatic practices to help you feel what your body is actually saying

🔹 Four different decision-making archetypes and how stress changes the way you choose

If you've been stuck in a decision, this episode will help you stop forcing clarity and start listening for what's actually true.
