What do you want?

Most women can't answer this question. And it costs them everything.

I sent an email asking my community one simple thing: what do you want? From life. From your future. Who is your future self? Not everyone answered. And that silence told me everything.

In this solo episode, I'm exploring why women struggle to voice what they want, and why that matters especially if you're single, child-free, or over 40. We dive into the expectations society placed on you before you had a say. The shame that shows up when your life doesn't match the plan. The weight of legacy when no one taught you to think about it. And what happens when you finally stop doing and start being.

If you've ever wondered what you actually want underneath all the roles you play, felt guilt for wanting something different, or sensed that someone needs to ask you what YOU want — this one's for you.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Why asking women what they want reveals what's been withheld
• Professional vs. high-achieving: why labels matter and who they're really excluding
• Child-free and childless women over 40 — the group nobody's really talking to
• Shame and guilt when your life doesn't match the prescribed path
• The legacy question: what are you leaving when you have no children
• What to do with everything you carry alone as a single income household
• The journaling practice that changes everything: What I want is…
• How talking to your future self unlocks what you already know
• From doing to being: the pause that resets your entire life

BEST MOMENTS:

"Knowing yourself and knowing what you want, you can stand unshakable. You can be unapologetically you. You can be unstoppable."

"Future self is here, right? She's living the life that we want, so she knows what you want."

"Not create the life somebody else wanted for us, but to create life our way."

YOUR JOURNAL PROMPT:

What I want is…

Then start listing. Big things. Little things. Let them be huge. When you're finished, close it. Come back to it later. Read all the things. That's where your real life begins.
