Get a Pen and Paper and Meet Desire Head On

At some point, many women stop letting themselves fully want things.

Not because the desire disappears—but because practicality, responsibility, caregiving, and survival mode slowly take over. And after years of focusing on what needs to get done, it becomes easy to disconnect from what would actually feel good, meaningful, or life-giving.

In this episode of the Life Purposely Podcast, Elizabeth Keiper-Aguirre explores the quiet guilt many women carry around wanting more—from more rest, joy, creativity, and support to more peace, spaciousness, connection, and aliveness.

This conversation reframes desire as something deeper than selfishness or dissatisfaction. Often, your desires are not random—they’re directional. They reveal where your life may be asking to expand.

Elizabeth shares relatable examples of how women talk themselves out of what they want and offers a simple practice to reconnect with your own desires without immediately minimizing or dismissing them.

Because wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
 It makes you honest.
