What Do You Want (Your Desires Aren't Going Anywhere)

✨ Episode Summary: In this soulful and spirited episode, Cheri explores the powerful pull of desire—how our deepest wants keep whispering to us, no matter how long we've ignored them. Through candid storytelling, humor, and a heartfelt guided meditation, she helps you reconnect with your inner truth and reminds you that joy is a spiritual directive. Whether it’s a creative spark, a childhood dream, or a mysterious calling, your desires aren’t random—they’re sacred. Plus, there’s a writing prompt to help you get clear and real about what you truly want. 📌 Three Key Learning Points:

Desires Don’t Expire: Longings that come from your heart will keep nudging you until you pay attention—and that’s a good thing.
Flip the Script with “Not This”: Clarity often starts with defining what you don’t want. Let that contrast guide you to truth.
Ditch the “How” Trap: You don’t need to figure out the logistics—your job is to dream clearly. Let the universe handle the delivery.
