#174: Is Your Online Cart Full of Wants? Have You Ever Gotten Exactly What You Wanted and Wondered Why You Weren't Happy? Wants vs. Yearnings

I woke up at 38 and realized I'd checked all the boxes on my wish list. A boy, a girl, a house, a good job, a cute husband, a degree, and money in the bank. But I'd never felt more lost and bewildered. Why wasn't I happy? I'd gotten exactly what I wanted. Reading Sue Monk Kidd's When the Heart Waits and Martha Beck's Way of Integrity opened my eyes about why I didn't feel good despite getting what I wanted. In this episode, we talk about wantings vs yearnings. What the brain thinks you want vs what the heart wants. If you feel empty this Thanksgiving, this discussion will give you a lot to chew on.
