Episode #93
Releasing the Shame of Wanting to Be Wanted | 93
Longing is not the enemy of wholeness. This episode is an invitation to radically embrace, reclaim, and even savor all parts of yourself, messiness and shadows and heartache included. ❤️ If you want to go deeper with Nadine, book your free Desire Mapping Call here . You will hear in this episode: • The hidden shame behind wanting to be wanted and why the deeper your longing to be chosen, desired, pursued, or loved goes, the more another part of you may judge you for having that longing at all. • The empowerment trap I see so many women fall into: believing that being sovereign, secure, confident, and “whole” means you should no longer need, desire, crave, or care about being chosen by another person. • What if wholeness doesn’t mean becoming the woman who needs nothing? I unpack a radically different understanding of wholeness, one that makes room for every part of you, including the parts you’ve decided are too needy, attached, wounded, or “unhealed” to belong. • " The inner garden" and a different way of relating to your inner world where no part of you gets exiled, shamed, fixed, or forced to disappear, and what begins to happen when you welcome even the parts of yourself you most want to get rid of. • Why self-abandonment can masquerade as self-love. We’ll explore the subtle difference between genuine sovereignty and rejecting a vulnerable part of yourself because you believe you should be beyond needing what it wants. • The surprising relationship between emotional surrender and pleasure, and what happens when you stop resisting an emotion, drop beneath the story, and allow yourself to fully feel its raw sensory experience in your body. • And perhaps the most liberating question of all: What if you don’t have to get rid of your longing to be whole? What if you can let yourself want, ache, yearn, and desire deeply without making any of those feelings mean that something is wrong with you? ______________ CONNECT WITH NADINE: • Explore 1:1 Somatic Coaching and book a free discovery call • Instagram: @iamnadinehamilton • Free access to sensual embodiment practices
