What if I told you your desires aren’t gone — they’re just hidden? That everything you’ve been chasing is already inside you? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

In this episode, I’m inviting you to remember the parts of yourself that got buried under layers of survival, performance, and expectations. This conversation is about reclaiming desire, not as indulgence, but as direction — as the compass of your soul.

I’m sharing stories and reflections from my recent Goddess Activation journey, where we walked with Kianda, the shapeshifting sea goddess of Angola. Her teachings helped us explore what it means to shape-shift on purpose — not into what the world wants us to be, but into who we truly are.

Here’s what we explore in this episode:

  • Why desire is not gone, just buried — and how to reconnect with it.
  • How systems of control disconnect us from our desires (and why that’s not an accident).
  • The difference between shape-shifting for survival vs. shape-shifting into joy
  • Powerful stories from our Shapeshifting Goddess Council — real women naming their truths.
  • The roles we get cast in (caretaker, fixer, the strong one) and how they become cages.
  • A simple practice to remember what you loved before the world told you who to be.
  • Why your “dream self” isn’t a future version of you — she’s already here, waiting.
  • How survival shape-shifting holds the wisdom for your liberation.
  • A breathwork moment to help you take up your full shape, right now.

One gentle invitation for you:

Remember what you loved.

Not what made you productive or impressive.

But what made you feel fully you.

That memory — no matter how small — is your breadcrumb back to aliveness.

Your next step:

If this stirred something in you, don’t let it float away.

Say it out loud. Whisper it. Write it down.

DM me. Email me. I want to hold that truth with you.

Next week:

We’re talking about calling in our ancestors to support this journey of remembering who we are. Now that we’re identifying what we want, we get to call in the support we need.

Until then, keep listening inward. Keep honoring your desire.

You are coming home to yourself.
