This is a podcast for women who are done settling — in money, life, and self-trust.
Hosted by Emily Williams, founder of I Heart My Life, each episode explores the identity-level shifts behind real change: upgrading your relationship with money, trusting your desires, and choosing your life on purpose.
You’ll hear honest insights, real stories, and reframes that help you stop forcing and start becoming the woman who can hold what she wants.
Because your desires aren’t unrealistic. They’re invitations.
In this episode, I explore how self-trust gets quietly conditioned out of us — often early, often lovingly — and why so many capable women wait not because they’re unsure, but because they don’t yet trust themselves to be okay if things don’t work out.
We talk about how caution became mistaken for wisdom, how certainty replaced self-relationship, and what rebuilding real self-trust actually looks like.
If you’ve been delaying a decision you already understand, second-guessing yourself more than usual, or waiting for a feeling of “readiness” that never quite arrives, this episode will help you name what’s really happening — without pressure.

Your Desires Aren’t Unrealistic (You’re Just Not Living From the Right Version of You Yet)
Your desires aren’t unrealistic.
If you have the desire (especially if it keeps returning) it’s usually a sign that it’s possible and meant for you.
But here’s the part most people miss:
Just because something is meant for you doesn’t mean you’re the version of you who can hold it yet.
In this episode, I explore why desire isn’t a problem to solve or a fantasy to dismiss; it’s an initiation into identity growth. We talk about the quiet cost of waiting, why clarity often comes after choice, and how your desires are asking you to become someone new rather than stay comfortable.
If you’ve been questioning what you want, delaying a decision you already understand, or wondering why something keeps calling you back, this episode will help you see it differently.

Your Desires Aren’t Unrealistic (You’re Just Not Living From the Right Version of You Yet)
Published 6 Jan 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Again, it's not that they're impossible. It's just these desires are asking me to release old expectations, old habits, old ways of holding responsibility, old boundaries that are no longer serving me. The desires are asking me to lead differently, to show up differently, to develop a new way of thinking in terms of my mindset and And this is the shift I want you to hear. Desire is not demanding. It's really an initiation into your next level of self. It shows you where your capacity needs to grow, where your identity needs to evolve, where you're being invited into a more honest version of yourself. […]
