Giving Voice to your Longing - MOMspiration

What this episode covers

Were you ever taught not to want too much, or that you were being “too big for your britches” when you had a big dream? Well-meaning figures in our lives think they are “helping” when they quash our desires, to “protect” us from possible disappointment. This episode explores the true function of the complicated emotion of longing using David Whyte’s poignant poem, “The Song for the Salmon.”
