What Do YOU Actually Want?

Do you actually know what you want — or have you been setting goals based on what you “should” want?

In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from setting safe, realistic goals that felt good on paper… to dreaming bigger than I ever thought I could. We’re diving into how to connect with your future self, why most New Year’s resolutions fail, and how writing down your dreams activates the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in your brain to help you notice aligned opportunities.

You’ll hear how a planner changed my entire path — and why I believe dreaming is essential, even (especially) if it feels unrealistic.

Whether you’ve felt stuck, uninspired, or overwhelmed by the idea of goal-setting, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and reconnect to what you actually want.

About the Podcast

Unfolding: Audio Letters from the Middle of Becoming
Hosted by Erica Voell

What if midlife wasn’t a crisis… but an invitation?

Each week, Erica Voell, a Confidence & Well-Being coach and Human Design Guide shares honest audio letters from the middle of becoming—reflecting on self-trust, Human Design, motherhood, identity shifts, and the messy beauty of figuring it out as you go.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming… if you’re learning to say no to what drains you and yes to yourself… if you’re craving grounded, thoughtful reflection that doesn’t come with a 10-step plan—this is for you.

I use tools like Human Design, coaching, and
Reiki to help women in midlife say no to what
drains them—because they trust their decisions
and understand their unique strengths.

Together, we clear old patterns, and they learn
how they’re designed to make confident decisions
and start putting themselves first.
