Do you actually know what you want from your life- or are you chasing someone else's version of happy? In this episode, I'm getting into how to figure out what genuinely lights you up, not what looks good on paper or what society tells you to want. Because I truly believe most of us already have the clues. We're just not paying attention to them.

I'm sharing three ways you can start figuring out what you actually want. Paying attention to the activities that energise you, even when you didn't want to show up for them. Using jealousy as a data point rather than something to feel bad about. And what your For You page is quietly telling you about your deepest desires- and why it might not be the thing itself you're craving, but the feeling behind it.

This one is warm, honest, and ends with a reframe I hope stays with you. Hit subscribe or follow wherever you're listening- new episodes every week for anyone navigating their twenties and trying to figure it all out.
