5. When you want to, but you don't

5. When you want to, but you don't

We all know the phrase “if he wanted to, he would”, but how many times have we wanted to, and we didn’t? The reality is that our wants are shaped by the world we live in, and as much as we would like it to be, it’s never really all that simple.

There are journal prompts at the end of the episode to help you get more clear on what you want. Enjoy!


In this episode, we explore:

  • Internet advice overload
  • Desires, wants, and shoulds
  • The vulnerability of desire
  • The power of refusal
  • Changing your paradigms
  • The pursuit of “normal”
  • How socialization shapes our desires


Books/Documents mentioned:

  • "On Our Best Behavior", Elise Loehnen
  • "Feminist Theory: From Margins to Center", bell hooks
  • "The Short Instructional Manifesto for Relationship Anarchy", Andie Nordgren
  • "Am I a Lesbian?", Angeli Luz
