Why What You Want Matters | UA02

Why What You Want Matters | UA02

In this episode, I flip on its head the idea that paying attention to your deepest wants is selfish.

Both women and men are socialized to deny themselves the things they most want. We spend our time doing all the things we believe we “should” do. We try to appease our parents, bosses, spouses, friends, mentors, teachers, priests and gurus, and we’re left feeling frustrated, resentful and unfulfilled. We’ve forgotten the sacred art of listening to ourselves.

Listen in to find out why sacrificing what you truly want doesn’t serve you or anyone else.  

I end the episode with three questions you can ask yourself to explore what an unrestricted life would feel like and what’s possible for you.

My mission in this podcast is to help you find the freedom to become who you want. In every episode I arm you with one useful idea or strategy you can use immediately to start taking your life in a beautiful, new direction.

MY PODCAST LAUNCH CONTEST – FIRST 4 WEEKS ONLY!

To celebrate the first 4 weeks of my podcast launch, I’ve created a super fun contest. To enter the contest, you’ll need to subscribe to the podcast and leave me a review, and then post your photo on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and tag me (https://www.instagram.com/gracedcanvascoaching/, https://www.facebook.com/heatherirenekerr, https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherkerr/) or send me an email to heather@gracedcanvas.com with a copy of your photo.

When I see your photo, I’ll add your name to a hat. I’ll be doing a weekly draw for a free one-hour dream analysis session with me. This session is something outside my normal coaching program, so it’s a rare opportunity. It’s a fun and useful way to access deeper truths about what you really want and the wisdom you need to know right now. If you’re not the kind of person who remembers your dreams, no problem. I have another fun way I apply the dream methodology to your waking thoughts. I guarantee you’ll be surprised at what you learn about yourself.

ABOUT ME:

I’m a former international tax lawyer and senior partner with Ernst & Young. I left the law in 2014 to learn how to paint. After a couple years painting and selling my work, I became passionate about helping other people who feel stuck in their careers and want to feel more personally fulfilled, invigorated and soul connected. I now spend my time painting, coaching and creating live events at the George Russell Academy of Creative Expansion in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.
