Permission to Want More” Do you know that wanting more isn’t selfish, but it’s sacred? Society has taught us to play small. To be “grateful” for what we have, not ask for too much, and tone down our ambitions so we don’t make others uncomfortable. We’ve been conditioned to downplay our dreams, to confuse humility with limitation, and to see desire as greed. But what if wanting more is actually your soul asking for growth? Your desire isn’t greed; it’s guidance toward the life you’re meant to live. On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we’re exploring why...

Do you know that the holidays are supposed to be joyful and cheerful, but too often, they become stressful? The holidays are meant to bring warmth, connection, and joy, but for many of us, they bring pressure, exhaustion, and overwhelm instead.

Grief isn’t always about death. Sometimes it’s about the dreams we outgrew, the relationships that changed, the expectations that never became reality, or the versions of ourselves we’ve had to let go of. Grief is love that has nowhere to go—and healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to feel it. On this episode, my co-host and husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore the invisible losses—and the power of honoring what we’ve quietly carried for too long. 💔 What loss have you carried quietly for too long? We all grieve things no one else sees—dreams that didn’t happen,...

info_outlinePermission to Want More”
Do you know that wanting more isn’t selfish, but it’s sacred?
Society has taught us to play small. To be “grateful” for what we have, not ask for too much, and tone down our ambitions so we don’t make others uncomfortable.
We’ve been conditioned to downplay our dreams, to confuse humility with limitation, and to see desire as greed.
But what if wanting more is actually your soul asking for growth?
Your desire isn’t greed; it’s guidance toward the life you’re meant to live.
On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we’re exploring why guilt often shows up when we dream bigger, how cultural and emotional conditioning can make us feel undeserving, and how mindset work helps us reclaim our right to want, to grow, and to thrive.
You don’t need permission to want more, but sometimes, you have to give that permission to yourself.
Today, I, Coach Elix, and my co-host (and husband), Steven the Medium, are talking about how to break free from guilt, stop playing small, and reclaim your desires boldly and unapologetically.
Because you’re not here to settle, but you’re here to expand.
Remember: you don’t need permission to shine; you just need the courage to say yes to yourself.
✨ What do you secretly want—but haven’t dared to claim?
And more importantly; what are you going to do about it?
