It sounds simple until someone actually asks you—and your brain just stops. This episode tackles why the question "What Do You Want" feels impossible, especially when you've spent years being told what to do instead of choosing for yourself. We dig into the "should" voice that drowns out what you actually want, why avoiding the question keeps you building a life that looks good on paper but doesn't feel like yours, and how to start answering it without needing the whole future figured out.

The skills that make you valuable are often the ones you can't see—because they've become so natural, you think everyone has them. Spoiler: they don't. This episode unpacks why your most transferable capabilities are hiding in plain sight, how to stop underselling yourself because something feels "too easy" to matter, and why the people who get hired aren't always the most qualified—they're just the ones who can actually name what they bring.
