Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

Our desires, every single one of them, are gifts from the Creator. They are invitations to follow our unique purpose, clues that lead down the path of our unfolding potential. To deny our desires is to deny ourselves. But why is it so hard to ask for what we truly want? In this mini episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss how to communicate our desires so we can cultivate more balance between giving and receiving. 


“To claim what we desire, we first have to believe that we are deserving of it.”

– Monica Berg
