In this episode of Mormon to Muse, we’re talking about desire — that quiet pulse beneath duty, expectation, and fear. If you grew up in a system that taught you to distrust your longings or call them selfish, you’re not alone. Many of us learned to silence the very parts of ourselves that lead us toward joy, creativity, and growth.
But what if desire isn’t dangerous? What if it’s a sacred form of guidance — your inner compass pointing you back to what makes you feel alive?
Join me as we explore: Why high-demand systems condition women to fear their desires How suppressing longing leads to disconnection, resentment, and self-doubt
The difference between impulsive wanting and soulful desire
How creativity and art-making help you reconnect with what you truly want
Simple ways to start listening to your longings again — without shame or guilt
You’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of how desire can be a spiritual practice — one that honors your body, your emotions, and your becoming.

While this isn’t art therapy, and I’m not a licensed therapist, these creative exercises have been powerful tools for healing in my own life and in the lives of women I work with
