Show Notes

Do you ever ask yourself what you really want?
Not what’s profitable. Not what’s a good business decision. Not what’s righteous, or best for your team.

Just… what you want.

In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling invites you into a deeply personal—and radically freeing—conversation about desire. As a founder or leader, you’ve been trained to prioritize discipline, service, and strategy. But too often, that comes at the cost of your own longing.

Inside this episode:

  • Why desire isn’t hedonism—it’s data

  • A framework for “desiring well”

  • The reason most humans fear giving in to desire
