Dissecting the Fear of Wanting too Much
About this episode
In this episode, I’m talking about the fear of wanting too much:
why emotional investment gets labeled as neediness, how creatives learn to downplay their passion, and what it costs us to shrink our desires just to feel safe.
We unpack the difference between healing and self-protection, softness and self-abandonment, and what it really means to want deeply in a world that rewards detachment.
If you’ve ever edited your enthusiasm, lowered your expectations, or stopped wanting something out loud, this one’s for you.
