Do you ever ask yourself what you really want?Not what’s profitable. Not what’s a good business decision. Not what’s righteous, or best for your team.
Just… what you want.
In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling invites you into a deeply personal—and radically freeing—conversation about desire. As a founder or leader, you’ve been trained to prioritize discipline, service, and strategy. But too often, that comes at the cost of your own longing.
Inside this episode:
Why desire isn’t hedonism—it’s data
A framework for “desiring well”
The reason most humans fear giving in to desire
Want deeper support in your founder journey?
