Have you ever asked for something that felt totally reasonable, only to be met with resistance, rejection or discomfort? It can feel disorienting, even painful.

In this episode, we explore how to ask for what you want in relationships without attachment, resentment, or collapse. Through stories of diamond earrings, perfume, and simple affection, we reveal the subtle difference between demanding and cleanly desiring.

When we love our desires, rather than clinging to outcomes, we create space for more connection, more possibility, and less pressure. We introduce the transformative practice of “asking every time like it’s the first time,”. We share how approval can  shift everything about how we ask and how we receive.

This episode speaks to who you become through the asking for what you desire.

In this episode:
• The difference between demanding and clean asking
• Why emotional attachment sabotages desire
• Real-life examples: earrings, perfume, affection
• “Ask every time like it’s the first time”
• How to stay radiant and open when you hear “no”
• Releasing resentment and rewriting old patterns
• Being responsible for your desire (not outsourcing it)
• Knowing the difference between “not now” and “not ever”
• The freedom of loving your desire—no matter the outcome

May you love your desire, even when it’s not fulfilled.
May you hold yourself with grace when you meet resistance.

We’d love to hear your takeaway or leave us a review; your words mean the world to us.
