Ask for What You Want: Healing the Voice That Was Shut Down

Lorene Roberts | Root Cause Therapist | Life Reinvention | Women of Wisdom | Mature Women | Inspirational Women | Season 2 Episode 2

Have you ever wondered why it feels so hard to ask for what you want—especially after divorce or coming out of a toxic relationship?

In this powerful, no-fluff episode, I’m sharing the truth about why so many women stay silent after separation… and why asking for what you want isn’t just brave—it’s essential for healing and creating your new life.

After years of being told not to ask—first by my family, then by my ex—I stopped expecting anything from life. I learned to shut down my desires, to stay small, and to avoid disappointment at all costs. I thought if I could just work hard enough or control everything, maybe I’d get what I wanted.

But it never worked.

Because desire requires voice. Clarity. Belief. Decision. Surrender.
And most importantly, it requires healing the limiting beliefs that were programmed into us by people who were never equipped to love or support us properly.

If you’ve ever felt:

  • Afraid to ask for what you need in relationships
  • Guilty for wanting “more” after divorce
  • Like you always have to do everything yourself
  • Or like the universe just isn’t listening...

This episode is for you.

Together, we’ll explore:
 ✅ Why asking is a non-negotiable part of your healing journey
 ✅ How childhood and narcissistic conditioning sabotage your desires
 ✅ The neuroscience behind decision-making and why your brain needs clarity
 ✅ What really happens when you don’t ask (and how it keeps you stuck)
 ✅ How to reprogram limiting beliefs around self-worth and receiving
 ✅ Why surrender—not control—is the missing key to getting what you want
 ✅ Simple, daily embodiment practices to begin asking, believing, and receiving

This isn’t about manifesting fluffy dreams or pretending everything’s okay.
 This is about rewriting the script—from survival and silence to bold, embodied truth.

You’ll walk away from this episode with:
 ✨ A clear understanding of what’s been blocking your desires
 ✨ Practical steps to start asking with confidence
 ✨ A renewed belief in your right to receive
 ✨ Tools to stop controlling and start allowing

Whether you’re newly separated or years into your healing, this episode will reconnect you to the part of you that’s always known: you’re meant for more.

It’s time to ask for it.
