What We're Covering:

  • When did you learn to feel guilty about wanting more things or more out of life?
  • How guilt keeps good people from taking their power (and gives it to those who don't deserve it)
  • Why good people wanting more actually makes the world better (you take others with you)
  • The body response when you think about big dreams (anxiety of expansion vs. real anxiety)
  • How judging bold women is discomfort with our own smallness
  • What would you do if you actually believed "Why not me?"

Your Empowerment Tools:Guilt Origin Work: When did these stories come up? Where did you learn wanting more = selfish?

Permission Questions: "If I didn't feel guilty, what would I pursue? Who would I no longer tolerate? How would I go about my day?"

Anxiety Reframe: When big dreams create anxiety, breathe into it and recognize it as expansion anxiety, not real danger

Affirmation Practice: "I get to have this. I can hold space for this. I am safe. I will be supported. Everything I need will come."

Key Reframe: When good people want more, they take others with them - "Let's ALL experience abundance, overflow, travel, deeper connection." But we're taught wanting more = selfish, so we give power away. The anxiety you feel about big dreams isn't real danger - it's the anxiety of who you're becoming.

Truth Bomb: If you were genuinely content, you wouldn't be complaining, feeling drained, or secretly thinking "is this it?" First step: admit there's a fear in you about wanting too much. Become aware of it.

Day 3 Challenge: Pay attention to what it feels like in your body to want something more. Then lean INTO it - don't push away or hide. See what comes up.
