Description

Have you ever wanted something so badly (a role, an opportunity, someone’s approval) that your energy tipped from ambition into… desperation?

Maybe you kept saying yes, tried to be impressive, shaped yourself into whatever you thought they wanted, and somewhere in the process, you disappeared a little.

This episode is a quiet reflection on that feeling, what drives it, how it sneaks into our behaviour, and how we can shift from “please choose me” into quiet self-trust.

If you’ve ever worried that you want it too much, this one is for you.
