About this listen

Have you ever felt a quiet tug for more - more space, more meaning, more time for you - only to be hit with a wave of guilt for even thinking it?

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Shouldn’t I just be grateful?” or “Who am I to want more when others have less?”, this episode of Her Turn is for you.

Today, Dani unpacks the deeply ingrained guilt that so many women carry when they begin to crave something beyond what they’ve been told is “enough.” This isn’t about toxic ambition or abandoning gratitude - it’s about honouring your truth without apology.

You’ll hear:

  • Why women are conditioned to feel guilty for prioritising themselves
  • How to recognise the voice behind your guilt - and release what’s not yours
  • The power of holding both gratitude and desire at the same time
  • How to take small, guilt-free steps toward what lights you up
  • Why wanting more isn’t selfish - it’s your signal to grow

Whether it’s a shift in your career, your relationships, or just a deeper relationship with yourself, this episode invites you to stop silencing your desires and start exploring what’s next - with tenderness, courage, and zero guilt.

💭 Journal Prompt: What’s one thing you’ve been quietly wanting, but haven’t allowed yourself to name?

✨ Keep the Conversation Going:

  • DM me on Instagram @coached.by.dani and tell me: what’s the “more” you’re ready to claim?
  • Share this with a friend who’s been downplaying their desires - you never know who needs this permission slip.
  • Leave a quick review if this resonated - it helps more women hear the message that they’re allowed to want more.
