Why Spiritual Women Feel Guilty for Wanting More (And How to Release It)
IN THIS EPISODE:
Struggling with guilt for wanting more — more money, joy, time, or purpose? This episode unpacks the spiritual root of guilt, reveals how desire is divine guidance, and offers intuitive tools to help you release shame around ambition. Perfect for heart-led, intuitive women ready to expand without apology.
TUNE INTO THIS EPISODE:
Here’s what to expect from this episode:
If you’ve ever caught yourself shrinking your desires, second-guessing your ambition, or feeling like you should just be grateful, this conversation is for you.
Because here’s the truth — spiritual women are often taught to dim their desires in the name of humility or service. But what if your yearning for more is the message? What if that whisper for more joy, money, time, or alignment isn’t selfish… but sacred?
In this episode, I open up about the hidden guilt so many of us carry when it comes to expansion. From collective conditioning to spiritual myths around money and ego, I unpack the stories that keep us small — and offer you a soulful reframe. This is your permission slip to want more without apology.
I also share a personal moment of Spirit interrupting my recording — because yes, even I am still learning to hold my gifts and desires without guilt. It’s a reminder that your intuitive nudges, your longings, your ambitions are not random. They’re roadmaps from your soul. And it’s time we stopped handing back the winning ticket just because someone else might “need it more.”
Let’s rewrite the story. Let’s expand the space. Let’s honour the more that’s calling you forward.
