You’ve probably heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s a pyramid that puts survival at the bottom and self-actualization at the top. But what if Maslow has it upside down?

In this episode, grace invites us to imagine self-actualization not as a prize for doing the work, but as the pulse and driving force behind everything you are doing, everything you are trying to achieve.

She traces the path to the Desire behind the desire behind the desire. Because it turns out: You have nothing to prove — only layers of longing to follow.

we discuss —

• how Maslow inverted an indigenous Blackfoot paradigm
• unlocking + embodying your fullest, most true expression
• the false promises of Success without Self-actualization
• why things often fall apart in midlife
