As promised, here is the guided meditation to go along with this week’s episode, What If You Don’t Know What You Want?

When you’ve spent years focused on what everyone else needs, the question “What do I want?” can feel big, uncomfortable, or even impossible to answer. In this 20-minute meditation, we stop trying to think our way to an answer. Instead, we bring the head and heart into coherence so they work together instead of pulling against each other.

In this meditation, you’ll:

• Move your attention out of your busy mind and into your heart
• Use slow, steady heart breathing to help your body feel safe and settled
• Ask your heart what it truly desires, and notice the difference between a “should” and a real want
• Invite your mind to support your desire instead of talking you out of it
• Find one small way to honor that desire this week

You don’t have to figure everything out today. You just get to listen, and let what’s true for you be enough for now.

Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted, and come back to this meditation anytime you need to reconnect with what you desire.

What do you want? It sounds like a simple question, but what if your answer is “I don’t know”?

When you’re used to focusing on everyone else, recognizing your own desires can feel unfamiliar. And sometimes you have an answer, but question whether you deserve it or worry about what being honest would mean for the life you’re currently living.

In this episode, I share five practical ways to begin exploring what you want, from listening to yourself and writing without editing to trying something new. Nothing has to change today. You’re simply giving yourself room to be honest and get curious.

Watch for a separate companion guided meditation later this week to support you in slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and exploring your desires.

What if you stopped waiting for someone else's permission, approval, or circumstances to change before making choices about your own life?

After 40 episodes exploring our relationships with everything from money and work to our bodies, beliefs, and emotions, we're bringing the Relationship Series full circle with the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself.

In this series finale, we're exploring what it means to be the authority in your own life. How often do we allow other people's opinions, expectations, or even our assumptions about their reactions to influence our decisions? How often do we find ourselves waiting for something outside of us to change before allowing ourselves to experience something different?

Our internal world shapes how we experience our external world. The beliefs we carry, the stories we tell ourselves, and the patterns we've developed influence how we show up in our relationships and the choices we make.

Being the authority in your own life doesn't mean having all the answers or getting everything 'right.' It's about becoming aware of what's happening within you, getting curious without judgment, and recognizing that you can begin making different choices, one step at a time.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. Where in my life am I giving someone else's opinion, expectations, or potential reaction more authority than my own wants and needs?
2. Is there an area of my life where I've been waiting for something or someone outside of me to change before allowing myself to make a different choice?
3. If I really allowed myself to be the authority in my own life, what might I choose differently?

Thank you for joining me for the Relationship Series! While this series is coming to a close, our conversations about what's possible are far from over.

Your life. Your choices. Your possibilities.
