What Do You Want? Relearning Desire and Reconnecting with Yourself

What Do You Want? Relearning Desire and Reconnecting with Yourself

What brings you joy?

For many people, that question is surprisingly difficult to answer.

After years of responsibility, caregiving, achievement, and doing what needs to be done, it's easy to lose touch with what we actually enjoy, desire, or long for. We become experts at managing life while forgetting how to participate in it.

In this episode, Tara and Karen explore the hidden cost of disconnecting from ourselves and why reclaiming joy often begins with a simple but powerful question: What do I want?

Together, they discuss curiosity, desire, self-expression, and the small breadcrumbs that can guide us back to what makes us feel most alive.
