In many ways, it can become the pathway back to it.\nWe talk about the difference between craving and calling, why our desires deserve curiosity instead of judgment, and how practicing gratitude for what we already have can deepen our capacity for joy. If you've ever wondered whether following your desires is selfish, irresponsible, or simply too risky, I hope this conversation invites you to become a little more curious about what your deepest longings might be trying to teach you.\nIn This Episode\nWhy desire and joy are deeply connected\nThe difference between craving and calling\nHow social conditioning can disconnect us from ourselves\nWhy following your desires isn't selfish\nPracticing gratitude by desiring what you already have\nHow curiosity can lead us back to joy\nResources Mentioned\nBook\nFinding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck\nPerson Mentioned\nDr. Kelly Casperson\nConnect with Dr. Vanessa Calderón\nWebsite: https://www.vanessacalderonmd.com\nPodcast: https://www.theauthenticpathpodcast.com\n\nChapters\n00:00 Why Desire and Joy Belong Together\n08:20 The Difference Between Craving and Calling\n16:38 Coming Home to Yourself Through Desire\n24:51 Gratitude, Abundance, and Desiring What You Already Have\n33:16 How to Trust Your Desires With Integrity\n36:58 Practice for the Week & Final Reflections\nAbout Dr. Chrissie Ott\n\nDr. Chrissie Ott is...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/C9kXVWyNckiGFOFnMhi02KUTaGMuP1crCKgMqp2SHYw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lOTc5/NDQwOGQ4MzIzYjAx/MWIxYmFiMDBkYjZk/MWNiYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
