Somewhere along the way, many women become experts at anticipating everyone else's needs while losing touch with their own. In this episode, Kari and Lisa explore what happens when desire gets buried beneath responsibility, caregiving, productivity, and people pleasing. They discuss why reconnecting with what you want isn't selfish; it's an essential part of living a full and authentic life. Through personal stories, practical reflection, and gentle encouragement, they invite listeners to notice the small moments of curiosity, joy, and longing that can point the way back to themselves.

If this episode resonated with you, we'd love to invite you to the next experience in our Best Chapter Yet retreat series.
