from Muse Yourself | Women Who Rise · host Gemma James

What if I told you that your desires aren’t selfish…they’re actually a part of your soul’s design? Hi Muses,This week’s Monday Muse is a wake-up call for any part of you that’s stopped dreaming…and a reminder that your dreams aren’t just random - they’re guidance. And they’re there for a reason.If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, feared being seen, or convinced yourself it’s “safer” to not let yourself desire at all - this episode is for you.I’m covering:* Why so many of us feel unsafe admitting what we truly want* How childhood conditioning taught us that wanting more makes us “difficult,” “selfish,” or “unrealistic”* Why our nervous system shuts down desire long before we even think about taking action* How desire is actually guidance toward who we’re meant to become* The truth: our dreams aren’t the opposite of gratitude - they’re part of it* How withholding our dreams doesn’t just affect us… it affects everyone connected to usThis is your reminder that:✨ You’re allowed to dream.✨ You’re allowed to want more.✨ Your desires are not accidents - they’re invitations.If you’ve been settling, shrinking, or quietly convincing yourself you’re “fine” when something deeper is calling you… this episode will help you reconnect with the version of you who believes in possibility again.If this episode resonates, please make sure you’re subscribed - it helps the show reach more women who need these conversations. 🖤Until next time XRESOURCES:* GET YOUR FREE GUIDED VISUALISATION: Sign up HERE to join the MuseLetter list and receive a FREE 10-minute guided visualisation to help you release old identities and step into your most powerful era yet* SUBSCRIBE to my free Substack community HERE to join the conversation and receive new episodes straight to your inbox* CONTACT ME: If you’d like to explore how we can work together you can get in touch HERE* Make sure you’re subscribed on your favourite podcast platform!Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Get full access to Muse Yourself at gemmaj.substack.com/subscribe
