Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

I had a conversation about desire recently and it got me thinking about all the people, especially women who are afraid to really desire something. Some have never allowed themselves to desire anything in life.

I think desire gets a bad name. A lot of the time It’s labeled greedy, shallow and materialistic.
So many especially creatives, learn to tame it, bury it and ignore it.
​But here’s the truth
​Your desire is your compass, it's your soul's voice and what sparks you to create.

Not all desire is about handbags and dream holidays.
The desire I’m talking about is alive, it’s the quiet whisper that says:
"I want to feel more connected."
"I want to express myself."
"I want to be seen, heard, valued, lit up."

So many never let themselves go there.
Fearing they are too much, or that wanting more means they're not grateful.
But suppressing desire leads to disconnection from your creativity, your bodies and your power.

Awakening your desire isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering the part of you that knows what you want, and trusting yourself enough to listen.

What do you want, not just what’s reasonable, not what’s expected, but what sets something alight inside you?

This week, let’s give yourself permission to want.​
To want deeply, boldly, unapologetically.
​That’s where the real magic begins.

​

The Takeaway

Desire is sacred and it's not something to be ashamed of, it's something to honour.​
​Desire is not a flaw or a distraction, it’s your soul in motion.​
It’s the spark behind your creativity, your relationships and your vision.
Suppressing it doesn’t make you humble, it only makes you disconnected.
​​
​When you begin to name and honour your desires; beyond what’s practical or expected, you begin to live from truth.​
Because a fully expressed woman isn’t selfish… she’s powerful.

The greatest power a person holds is in their authenticity and embracing your desires allows you to connect with your authentic self

Something to Try

✨ Desire Mapping Journal Prompt:
​​
Grab a journal and write:

“If I let myself truly want what I want, I would…”
​
Keep going for 10 minutes without editing.
Let it pour out with no judgment and no editing. Just raw and truthful.

​

Always love hearing from you, stay connected.

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Little Reminders:

Let Desire Lead Your Self-Care. Try placing your hand on your heart each morning and asking: What do I want today, emotionally, physically, spiritually?

Align Your Desire. Notice any guilt that comes up around wanting more. Whose voice is that? Is it yours, or something you inherited?

Know What You Want. Desire is a business tool. Your next offer, creation, or pivot? Let it be born from want, not just strategy.
