You Get to Want More — And Still Love Where You Are

 We’ve been told a lie — one wrapped in gratitude quotes and spiritual bypassing, masked as “nobility.”

The lie? That if you already have a good life, you should be satisfied. That it’s greedy to want more joy, more freedom, more money, more connection, more… anything.

But here’s the truth, love:
You get to want more.
You get to be wildly grateful for your life and wildly hungry for expansion.
You get to honour where you are and believe there’s so much more waiting for you.

Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
It makes you human.
It makes you honest.
It makes you a rebel in a world that teaches women (and other rebels) to settle for scraps.

What “wanting more” actually means

Wanting more isn’t about greed.
It’s about not settling for what’s merely fine. It’s about refusing to live in “meh” when your soul came here for “holy motherfucking shit balls YES!”

It can look like:

• Wanting more travel, more connection, more influence.

• Wanting more money — not just for survival, but for delight.

• Wanting a more delicious home, more space to rest, more magic in your day, more TIME.

• Wanting better relationships, deeper intimacy, new experiences.

You get to want all of it. Not from lack. But from desire. From soul. From that sacred knowing that you were meant for more than just okay.

Why we’ve been shamed for wanting more

We’ve been taught that wanting more is selfish.
That desiring anything beyond the basics makes you entitled, or ungrateful, or disconnected from the suffering of others.

We’ve been told to compare ourselves to people who have less — as if shrinking our joy will somehow heal the world.

But here’s the thing: you growing, expanding, desiring, doesn’t take away from anyone else.

What takes from others is hoarding.
What heals the world is women reclaiming their power, their creativity, their resourcefulness — and making money, magic, and change from that place.

Gratitude isn’t a prison. It’s a foundation.
And from that foundation, you’re allowed to build castles.

Loving where you are — and still wanting more

Right now, I’m in a season of deep contentment.
I love my life. I feel blessed in my relationships, my creative work, my home.

And yet — I want more.

I want more travel.
More community.
More money to care for my home, my people, and my dreams.
More energy to create.
More connection with rebels like you.

That desire doesn’t come from emptiness.
It comes from joy.
From possibility.
From that delicious whisper inside that says “You haven’t seen anything yet.”

Holding both is an art. I practise gratitude and I cultivate desire. I rest in enoughness and I reach for expansion. And just to make it clear - It's a practice, not one and done thing.

Soul desire vs. scarcity chasing

Not all wanting is the same.
Sometimes, our desires come from deep alignment.
Other times… they come from a void we’re trying to fill.

So how do you tell the difference?

✨ When you’re chasing from scarcity, it feels like desperation. Like a vacuum inside. Like fear.
✨ When you’re desiring from soul, it feels like expansion. Like curiosity. Like yes, please.

I’ve made mistakes — big ones. I’ve said yes to investments that came from fear. I’ve tried to buy my way out of uncertainty. It never works.

But this business? This movement? It comes from joy.
It grows with me. It’s born of purpose, not panic.

Soul desire feels like the future calling you forward.
Scarcity feels like desperation trying to patch up the past.

Your desires are sacred — and they’re yours for a reason

You get to want more, love.
More freedom. More ease. More visibility. More softness. More support.
More everything.

And no — you don’t need to justify it.
You don’t need to shrink it.
You don’t need to prove that you’ve earned it through suffering. (<- very important!!!)

There’s a beautiful belief in the spiritual world that says: your desires are placed in your heart because they are possible for you.

And whether you believe that literally or not — how gorgeous is it to imagine?

That the reason you dream of a joyful, creative business…
or a peaceful home…
or meaningful community…
is because it’s already meant for you?

Let’s start there.

But watch out for this sneaky trap…

There’s something that muddles our desires — and that’s the illusion of what our dreams are supposed to look like.

We’re sold these glamorous end-goals:
“Work 4 hours a week and make millions!”
“Find your dream man and be blissfully happy forever!”
“Drink green juice on the beach and never feel sad again!”

And then we chase those fantasies — not realising they’re hollow.

True desire isn’t about a picture-perfect result.
It’s about a feeling.

Freedom might look like:

• Waking up naturally, without an alarm.

• Having enough money to care for your cat, your car, your body.

• Working joyfully on a project 12 hours a day for a while — and then resting deeply after.

It doesn’t have to look like what the ads told you.

If it feels like chasing, it’s probably not your soul desire.
If it feels like creating, becoming, expanding — that’s the one.

A fantasy-inspired embodiment practice: Meet Your Inner Guardian

Let’s add a bit of rebel magic to your journey.

We all have that inner voice that resists our desires. That says “who do you think you are?” or “you should be grateful with what you have.” I used to call mine Brian the Bully.

But let’s reimagine this voice…
Not as a villain, but as a Guardian. A creature from your own mythos. Fierce, protective, a little scared.

🛡️ Step into the story:
Close your eyes. Picture the gate between where you are and where you want to be. At that gate stands your Guardian. Yours might be a shadowy wolf, a stern elf, a snarky goblin, or a fire-breathing dragon.

They’re not your enemy.
They’re here to protect the younger you — the version of you who was taught to stay safe by staying small.

🗣️ Have a conversation:
Ask them: “What are you afraid will happen if I go after this desire?”
Listen with compassion. Let them speak. And then let your current self — your powerful, wise, rebel self — respond.

Reassure them. Thank them. Let them know:
“I’ve got this. I’ll take us where we’re meant to go.”

And then, when you’re ready, step through the gate.

You are allowed to want more.

Your desires are not a threat. They’re not a burden. They are a pathway.

To your expansion.
To your pleasure.
To your power.

So don’t settle for noble mediocrity.
Don’t dim your dreams to match someone else’s comfort zone.

You can be deeply grateful — and wildly ambitious.
You can love your life — and long for more.

You’re not too much.
You’re just ready.

Now go let yourself want. ✨
