137 ~ What Are Your Questions About Desire?

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/04/08

Desire can feel crystal clear in your head and completely impossible in your body. That tension is what we’re naming out loud here, because “trust yourself” doesn’t help much when fear shows up at the exact same time as the thing you want. We talk about what seems missing in the market around desire and personal growth: the bridge between desire and daily life. Not just big concepts from psychology or spirituality, but the lived experience of wanting something while craving safety, feeling y...

136 ~ Picky or Precise? What Do You Actually Want?...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/04/01

Wanting sounds simple until you try to say what you want out loud. We keep hearing people name the big dreams, then freeze on the small choices that would train the muscle of desire every day. So we recorded this toolbox mini-episode that is almost absurdly practical: order a tea or coffee with precision, then notice what happens in your body, your mind, and your heart. We walk you through the Tea/Coffee Practice as a precision practice in real time. We slow down the default “whatever is fin...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/03/25

Getting called “too much” can feel like a warning label, but we think it’s often a sign that you’re finally getting clear. We’re digging into precision in desire: what it looks like to know what you want, say it plainly, and stop shrinking yourself to keep the peace. If you’ve been told you’re picky, high maintenance, or “hard to please,” this conversation offers a different lens that’s rooted in self-trust, feminine clarity, and responsibility for your own needs. We walk through everyday ex...

2026/03/18

Ever get stuck in the “What do I want?” loop and feel your brain and desires go blank? We’ve been there, and we built a short, punchy toolbox to create more clarity around what you want. Using the Wheel of Life, map your world into clear slices: career, money, health, relationships, creativity, environment, spirituality, etc. Then use a rating system from 1-10 as 10 being the most satisfied and 1 the least satisfied. If you do it on paper you can create a circle with the pie slices labeled wi...

133 ~ Complain Your Way To Clarity (Tool Box Episode)

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/03/11

What if your most persistent complaints could be used as a compass pointing to what you truly want... We invited listeners into a playful “complainathon” and turned it into a playful practice for clarity, calm, and follow-through. Rather than making venting wrong, lets make it fun and purposeful. Let's capture every gripe on paper or in a voice note and treat it as data about desire. Then for each line, we ask, “Is this within my control?” Yes/No answers with no story. When the answer is no,...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/03/04

What if January isn’t your starting gun? We take on the “new year, new you” myth and offer a saner approach to growth: listen to your body, respect the season you’re in, and choose go time when you’re truly resourced. From Brenda’s love of winter hibernation to Catherine’s focus on boundaries and a personal resource bank, we explore how sustainable change comes from timing and capacity, not from a date on the calendar. Across the hour, we map out the many ways a year can begin—Lunar New Year...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/02/25

What if the pattern that keeps draining you is also your best teacher? We go straight into the messy middle from money spirals, to relationship loops, and those same arguments we swear we won’t enter again to show how to mine them for real, usable gold. Instead of blame or self-loathing, we practice a value-neutral “incident report”: what happened, where we went unconscious, and which hook pulled us in. That simple lens reveals consent with conflict, we don’t have to accept every invitation t...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/02/18

What if security isn’t a number in your bank account but the self-trust to meet whatever comes? We open up about living a desire-led life, the paradox of wanting more while craving safety, and why “clean desire” matter and equal responsible choices, braver conversations, and structures that support the soul’s pull without blowing up your life. We revisit the bedrock of yes/no clarity and how it reshaped the recent series on boundaries, self-love, sisterhood, and embodiment. From dismant...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/02/11

Ready or not, you’ve made it through the last 9 year cycle. We invite you to breathe into that truth, drop into your body, and walk a guided path through the arc from 2016 to 2025—closing loops, blessings, lessons, and letting desire shape a brighter 2026 with our guest Alee Reina Hoffman. We move year by year turning memory into medicine. 2016 receives a hug for the brave beginner. 2017 becomes a scene watched with wisdom and compassion. 2018 asks which thoughts still serve. 2019’s gentle n...

2026/02/04

Ever feel like you were brave, did the “right” things, and still hit bottom? We dive into the anatomy of a nine year cycle—2016 to 2025—and why so many of us are feeling the urge to complete, cleanly. With author and Akashic Records guide Alee Reina Hoffman, we unpack how to receive a cycle instead of chasing the next milestone: honoring what really happened, metabolizing grief and disappointment, and allowing endings to end so you can start without residue. Alee shares an unflinching person...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/01/28

What if the things we cling to for safety: money, titles, degrees, even a stacked calendar, are just polished props? We go straight at the myth of external security and make a case for the kind of wealth you can’t lose: alignment, capacity, and self-trust. Along the way, we revisit an idea from a recent guest "money is the happy byproduct of alignment" and get honest about how that actually looks in real life when you’re budgeting, meal planning, or trying not to derail your goals at the chec...

Desire As Medicine Podcast ·

2026/01/21

Ever wonder why money won’t land no matter how hard you hustle? We sat down with conscious wealth mentor Karen Baines to flip the script: alignment isn’t about efforting; it’s about how your daily choices broadcast your value to the universe. Karen maps out her Wheel of Alignment—money, time, and you—and makes a surprising case that money is usually the least misaligned area. The friction starts upstream with how you spend time and how you hold boundaries, and the fix is refreshingly practica...

Want a new year with resolutions that doesn’t fall apart by February? Go straight to sustainable change by making peace with right now so your goals have solid ground. Instead of forcing quick wins that fade, we explore how acceptance turns desire into a steady practice. True growth feels like a spiral, where you revisit old patterns with new wisdom, not the same you. Together we unpack the difference between change and transformation, sharing candid stories from our health and money journey...

2026/01/07

The moments that change our lives rarely shout; they whisper through breath, pulse, tightness, and ease. We designed this guided mini toolbox to help you hear those whispers and turn them into choices you trust. Across a calm, grounded practice, we slow down your nervous system, contrast the felt sense of yes versus no, and translate sensation into a clean, honest response you can act on today. This episode is a guided meditation designed to help you feel the difference between a true yes and...

Ever feel that automatic yes come out of your mouth, before you've really had the chance to think about it? We’ve been there, and we built a simple, reliable toolkit to help you answer with clarity instead of obligation or auto-response. We walk through five practical tools you can use today. The pause that interrupts people-pleasing, a body check that reads expansion or contraction, a desire filter that reveals whether you’re avoiding or creating, clean scripts for yes and no, and a future ...

Ever notice how fast “YES” leaves your mouth while your body whispers No!? We go deep into the real mechanics of yes and no. Some reasons why we say them. How they land in the body, and what it costs when we ignore the truth to keep the peace. From the short-term comfort of people-pleasing to the slow creep of resentment and burnout, we map the terrain so you can feel the difference between a clean answer and a automatic response. We share personal edges and self practiced tools for ho...

The calendar fills. Group chats buzz. The season starts to feel like a performance instead of a celebration. In this episode, we pause to name what drains our joy this time of year: Obligation. We explore how obligation shows up as invisible labor, full of emotional management, and conditioned yes responses. A tight chest. Shallow breath. Subtle self abandonment. We talk about how resentment builds and how to notice the signs early. We speak honestly about conditioning, especially for women t...

What if rest wasn’t a prize you earn after burning out, but the source of your creativity, clarity and kindness? We pull apart the tangled beliefs that keep us sprinting from the fear of losing momentum, the scarcity around time, and the nagging worry that energy might never return and offer a grounded way to choose rest before the crash. Together, we map the difference between sick rest and restorative rest, and why both matter. You’ll hear candid stories about pushing past limits, learning...

Catherine and Brenda explore the power of ritual, the medicine of desire, and the steady courage it takes to create meaning in your own life. From the circle of the Grand Ole Opry to a candlelit bill paying session at a kitchen table, they look at how a small shift in attention changes everything.

2025/11/26

The holidays can really speed up your life. Catherine and Brenda invite listeners to treat Thanksgiving as a time for gratitude. They explore gratitude as a perception practice. They bring in the Chinese parable of maybe, maybe not and the mantra if I am not winning, I am learning to show how progress grows through honest reflection. They examine the fine line between positivity and bypass. They focus on how intent shapes perception and how the right lens supports either momentum or shortfall...
