In this excerpt from Podcast Episode #225, the speaker emphasizes the importance of not shutting down one’s desires prematurely. She argues that allowing personal aspirations to percolate—like planting and watering a seedling—enables her to integrate personal development knowledge into her current job, where she shares proven wisdom through one‑on‑one coaching to help others uplevel. The monologue uses a gardening metaphor to illustrate how neglecting to nurture goals leads to their demise, while active cultivation fosters growth and fulfillment.

So we have to make sure that we are not allowing ourselves to be shut down right away with what we want, right? Because if I had allowed that to be true, like, oh, you can never have a job that allows you to read personal development books and bring that knowledge into what you're doing and expression. And like, I wouldn't have the job that I have now, which is basically what I'm doing now, right? It's like taking all my knowledge and wisdom and things that have worked for me and now sharing it with other people and having one-on-one interactions with people that help them uplevel even further. And Like, I wouldn't be doing any of that if I just shut it down and said, oh yeah, that's not possible. So we have to let our desires percolate a little bit. We have to let them grow. We have to give them— it's like we have to plant the seedling and then we have to water the seedling. We have to allow it to grow. We have to allow it to flourish, right? And if we never plant the seedling, we never water it, we never nurture it, we never come back to it, then it just dead.
