88. Your Desires Won’t Destroy You, But Suppressing Them Absolutely Will: Why Wanting More and Owning It is an Essential Part of Self-Acceptance with Diera Story
Tue Jun 24 2025
We’ve been taught that desire is dangerous… that wanting different, or especially ‘more’, makes us selfish, ungrateful, or “too much.” But what if the truth is the exact opposite?
In this powerful and honest conversation with coach, speaker, and mother of two Diera Story, we explore the real cost of suppressing your desires: from subtle self-abandonment to full-blown sabotage.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, unfulfilled, like your life no longer fits, or even depressed… this episode is your invitation to come home to not just your desires, but to you. Because your desires are in incredibly important part of you.
And ignoring your desires? It doesn’t make them disappear, it just causes them to scream louder through burnout, breakdowns, and ultimately self-sabotage. And the moment you start listening? That’s when your power, your peace, and your magnetism come back online.
-Why suppressing your desires leads to anxiety, misalignment, and burnout
-How to reconnect with your truth after years of self-abandonment
-Operating from wounded masculine vs. healthy masculine and why women need to learn the difference
-Why gratitude and wanting more can (and should) coexist
-The truth about sabotaging aligned relationships and opportunities
-How your life falling apart can actually be the beginning of it actually all coming together
-The power of energetic cord cutting and closing the door on what’s no longer in alignment
-Why honoring your desires makes you more magnetic, not less
-How to take radical responsibility without spiraling into shame
-Practical ways to rebuild self-trust and start choosing from power
