In this episode, Tori gets honest about what that feeling actually means and gives you the permission you didn't know you needed.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe feeling that something is missing doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you've been living a life of "should" instead of a life of want. Tori breaks down how we lose ourselves in building the life we thought we were supposed to have, and what it takes to find our way back.She shares her own story of closing a six figure photography business, getting cancer, uprooting her family from Philadelphia to Florida, and trusting that following what actually lit her up would work out. Spoiler: it worked out better than she ever imagined, financially and otherwise.The Thing You Have to AdmitYou're allowed to want more. Being grateful and wanting more are not mutually exclusive. That quiet ping you feel, that "I thought there'd be something more" feeling, isn't a flaw. It's a signal. And you don't have to wait for a rock bottom, a cancer diagnosis, or a life crisis to listen to it.The InvitationYour curiosity and that inner nudge are enough of a reason to start. Tori invites you to stop waiting for something dramatic to force the change and instead let this be your moment to step into the version of you that has the answers.Contact Tori:[email protected]/thetoristauffer
