I think sometimes we get so busy surviving that we forget how miraculous it is just to be alive. So today, I want to invite us to open up to wonder from a few different perspectives. Back to the big questions, the tiny moments, the unexplainable synchronicities, and the ordinary things that make life extraordinary.

We all carry desires we pretend not to want — love, success, power, softness, being cared for, adventure — and we often sabotage them when they show up. This episode unpacks what those are, why we hide them, how we self-sabotage, and how to finally let them in.
