83: We Never Get What We Want

from Our Reimagined Life: Empowering Me, You, and Us Seeking Happiness and Self Worth · host Julie Siomacco

What if the reason we don’t have what we want… is because we keep wanting it? In this episode, I reflect on the difference between wanting and desiring—and how the words we use quietly shape the state we’re living from. I share an idea from a book I’ve been reading that helped me see how wanting keeps us in a perpetual state of lack, while desire carries a very different energy. We explore how Universal Law responds precisely to our thoughts, words, and states of being, why it’s easy to shift out of wanting for familiar things, and why that shift feels harder when we’re reaching for something we’ve never experienced before. I also share a personal story from our recent move into our new home that helped this concept click for me in a real, everyday way. This isn’t about forcing outcomes—it’s about noticing the words we live by, softening wanting into desire, and trusting divine timing. Sometimes the shifts that change everything aren’t loud or dramatic.They’re quiet. They’re simple. You can connect with me at ourreimaginedlife.com.Have a great rest of the week, and I’ll chat with you next week.I love you.
