Wanting more
with Nadia Patel, Coach
Why do we feel greedy for saying we want more — and what if “more” doesn't mean what we think?
There's something slightly uncomfortable about saying, out loud, that you want more. More money. More success. More adventure. A bigger business. A bigger life. Because surely we should be grateful for what we already have? But maybe wanting more doesn't mean there's anything wrong with what you already have. Maybe you just want more.
Nadia Patel on ambition, why women still feel so uncomfortable owning what they want, and what she calls “identity lag” — when who you've become has outgrown the person you still think you are. A conversation about relationships, money, success, fear of judgement, and why a big life doesn't necessarily mean a bigger career.
