Episode 18: The Permission to Want More (Even When Life Looks Good)

from Experiments In Happiness · host Michelle Lemus

Nothing is “wrong”… so why does something still feel missing?In this episode, we talk about the quiet guilt of wanting more when your life already looks good on paper: the career, the family, the stability, the boxes checked. We explore why gratitude and desire can coexist, why wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful or broken, and how denying that inner pull slowly disconnects you from yourself.If you’ve ever told yourself “I should be happy” while feeling restless, numb, or quietly unsatisfied… this episode is for you.You’re allowed to want more. Not more stuff, more you.🎧 One experiment at a time.
