What Capacity Teaches Us About Desire

In this episode of Knowing is Knowing, we unpack the tension between what we want and what we actually have the capacity to give. Desire is powerful—it fuels connection, ambition, creativity, and love. But capacity is honest. It’s shaped by time, energy, healing, boundaries, and season of life.
