Why You Constantly Say “IDK” & How To Know What You Actually Want

from That's So Nourishing · host Ashley Krooks

How often do you know exactly what you DON’T want, but struggle to name what you DO want?In this episode, we're exploring why knowing, claiming, and communicating your desires can feel so vulnerable. From people-pleasing and decision fatigue to the fear of getting it wrong, being judged, or not getting what you ask for, there can be so many reasons it feels safer to stay in indecision-mode.Learn how to begin reconnecting with your true wants in the small, everyday moments, like…what to eat, what to wear, how to spend your time, whether to rest or create, and better understand why these small choices build the self-trust needed for bigger life, relationship, career, and business decisions.We also explore the difference between a “true want” and a “conditioned want”, we go over how to use your body as information when making a decision, and a simple question to ask yourself when you feel stuck: "If I did know what I wanted, what would it be?"Your wants are not too much. You can honor your desires while still caring for the people around you. This is your reminder that it’s safe to choose, safe to communicate, and safe to create a life that feels alive to you.In This Episode, We Cover: → Why it can feel safer to focus on what you don't want → The connection between indecision, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment → Why claiming what you want can feel vulnerable → How early conditioning can shape your relationship with desire → The power of practicing decisions in small everyday moments → A simple prompt for accessing clarity when you feel stuck → How to notice expansion and contraction in your body → True wants vs. conditioned wants → How to communicate your desires without abandoning yourself or others → Following what feels alive, expansive, and energizing nowReady to get clear on what your core self actually wants?
