What If You Let Yourself Want What You Want?
A Crone Story post
Hey y’all! Just dropping in with a little video chat for you, straight from my studio space, filled with some thoughts on what it means to have a vision. A goal. A desire. And of course, making it so.
It’s July 3rd, the world’s feeling rough, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how important it is right now to not just push back against what we don’t want, but to name and nourish what we do want.
But knowing what we want—feeling that inspiration to act—well, that’s a whole other ball of wax.
If you take away nothing else from this, let it be this:
We don’t get inspired and then create.
We connect to Creative energy (the big-C Creative), and then we feel inspired.
That can take practice. It can be a switch you’ve gotta turn on.
This video isn’t a how-to. It’s a meandering, heartfelt check-in on why desire, joy, and little acts of self-honoring are essential, not indulgent, especially for those of us who have been taught to ignore our wants, or who feel so burned out that we no longer know what we want.
Here are a few things I touch on:
The three flavors of “I don’t know what I want”
Why practicing little wants builds your ability to claim bigger ones
How lunch alone can be a radical act of self-trust
Why now’s the time to fill your well, not wait for inspiration to show up first
It’s casual, unscripted, and just meant to stir something in you. You don’t need to have a big dream right now. But I hope this helps you start reconnecting to what brings you alive.
Take a listen when you’ve got a quiet moment—and let me know what it sparks in you.
