In Her Element: The Courage to Ask

What happens when we stop shrinking our desires and start asking for what we truly want?In this solo episode of In Her Element, I reflect on the quiet courage it takes to ask for big, sometimes unreasonable things, especially when we’ve been taught to justify our wants, stay grateful, and not ask for too much.From leaving behind a familiar life to starting over in a new field, to navigating grief, stress, and the loss of optimism in 2024, this episode is an honest conversation about how asking, clearly and boldly, can shift not just outcomes, but who we become in the process.We talk about cultural conditioning, the inner critic, confidence built through repeated self-trust, and why clarity itself is a form of work. I also share how In Her Element began as an ask before it ever became a podcast.This episode is not about hustle or manifestation.It’s about alignment.It’s about naming what you want without apology.And trusting that the universe often meets us at our level of audacity.If you’re standing at the edge of a decision, questioning everything, or quietly wanting more, this one is for you.
