When was the last time you admitted what you actually wanted?
Not what made sense. Not what was practical. Not what everyone else needed from you. What did you want?
In this episode of Room 1969, I talk about how women slowly become fluent in everyone else's desires while forgetting their own—and why guilt, permission and years of putting ourselves last can make wanting something for ourselves feel selfish.
I share the story of buying the Porsche I'd wanted since I was ten—and barely driving it—and the very different moment at 21 when I listened to myself and called off my wedding two weeks before it happened.
Maybe your desires haven't disappeared.
Maybe you've just stopped listening to them.
This week, don't judge what you want. Just notice it.
Because the woman who stopped wanting things isn't gone.
She's been waiting for you to ask her again: What do you actually want?
