Am I Vain For Wanting Something More

Does pretending to be the main character in your own life feel...weird? You’re not alone.

Today’s listener question is about feeling self-conscious—or even vain—for wanting something bigger, better, or more fulfilling. But here’s the thing: wanting more doesn’t make you vain—it makes you human.

In this episode, we’re tackling the discomfort of stepping into the spotlight and why it’s okay to imagine yourself as the lead in your own story. We’ll talk about reframing self-doubt, giving yourself permission to dream, and why embracing that “main character energy” isn’t just a trend—it’s a way to reclaim your power.
