Ep 32: Is It Wrong to Want More?

You’ve built a life that looks good — so why does it still feel… off?

In this episode, Emily dives into one of the most common questions she hears from high-functioning, heart-led humans:
“Why do I feel guilty for wanting more? And does that mean I’m ungrateful?”

If you’ve ever questioned your own dissatisfaction or felt ashamed for desiring a life that feels more true, this conversation is for you.

Emily breaks down:

• Why guilt around desire is rooted in societal and generational conditioning

• How over-functioning is praised while ease is judged

• The difference between core needs and soul-aligned values — and why confusing the two keeps you stuck

• Why your nervous system needs safety before you can access clarity

• How to begin moving out of shame and into aligned, meaningful action

This isn’t about fixing your mindset.
It’s about understanding yourself more deeply — so you can finally build a life that feels like yours.
