Episode notes

Asking yourself 'What do you want to want?' is an incredibly powerful question that allows you to separate yourself from societal norms, past trauma, and parental expectations. By stepping into your wants and learning to program your desires, you can avoid becoming a slave to the expectations of others. It is not enough to simply know what you want, as that can be influenced by external factors. Instead, focus on what you truly want in life by exploring your inner desires and aspirations.
