How To Uncover What You Want (What You Really, Really Want)

Overview

You know you're unhappy, but how are you meant to know what you really REALLY want? Especially when your life has been designed to put others first?

In this episode, we ask why so many women struggle with voicing their deepest desires. How do we confront our fears? And challenge the societal conditioning and stereotypes that hold us back?

Through personal stories and psychological insights, we want you to radically rethink your own personal narrative around what you truly want in life.
