Is it okay to want what you want?

It sounds like an easy question.

Until you actually let yourself answer it.

The moment we admit we want something different, shame often has something to say. It tells us we'll disappoint people, that we can't change our minds, or asks, "Who do you think you are?"

In Season 2 Episode 7 of The Finding Joy Podcast, we explore why wanting what you want can feel so vulnerable, and what it actually takes to move toward it.

Shame is fast.

It tells us: “You can’t change your mind. People will be disappointed. Who do you think you are?”

And before we know it, we’ve backed away from the thing we wanted and returned to what feels familiar.

✨ Save this post and spend some time with the questions when you’re able to really sit with them.

It's okay to want what you want.

It is.

And you're nodding along thinking - yes, obviously, of course it is.

But is it really that easy?

Because the moment you let yourself want something, shame shows up almost immediately. It slingshots rocks at you.

“You can't change your mind. You're so unreliable. Who do you think you are?”

That last one is shame doing what it does best - shutting the door.

So you back down. Shrink back. Return to regular programming. And your nervous system sighs in relief because you're back on solid, safe, familiar ground.

Except.

If we are going to live, really live, the life we're made for - we are going to have to wade through some uncomfortable waters to get there.

Not the responsible answer, or the edited version, or the thing that keeps everyone else comfortable.

What do you actually want?

The moment we let ourselves want something, shame often shows up fast.

Who do you think you are?
You can’t change your mind.
You’ll disappoint people.

And just like that, we retreat back to what’s familiar.

Back to “safe.”
Back to regular programming.

But surviving and truly living are not the same thing.

I’ll be saying more about shame and the stories it tells us in tomorrow’s podcast.

So many people have spent years at war with food, their body, or both.

Trying to control, restrict, and “get it right.”

In this week’s episode of the Finding Joy Podcast with Registered Dietitian Kristyn Hall, we explore a different approach - one rooted in nourishment, compassion, confidence, and learning to listen to your body instead of constantly fighting it.

This reel is an invitation to pause, reflect, and journal honestly about your own relationship with food, health, and self-trust.

✨ Save this post and come back to these questions when you have time to really reflect.

I’ve had a complicated relationship with my body and food for most of my life.

Trying to stay small.
Trying to control it.
Trying to “be good.”
Trying to outrun shame, discomfort, fear, and change through discipline and restriction.

And honestly? It was exhausting.

In this week’s episode of Finding Joy, I sit down with Kristyn Hall - a Registered Dietitian whose work has genuinely changed my relationship with food, my body, and myself.

She brings such a grounded, compassionate, practical approach to conversations that are often filled with shame, confusion, and extremes.

We talk about:

* food and body image
* midlife health
* cravings and restriction
* metabolic health
* why so many women feel at war with their bodies
* and what it looks like to find more peace around food

This is such an important conversation.
