Where You Wanna Be Vs Where You Are
6m | Sep 7, 2026In this original audio expression, Pamela Spoken asks, " Is this where you wanna be?"
Because what happens when you’re exhausted from trying to build something that still doesn’t look or feel like the life you wanted? Do you keep going, or do you choose something else completely?
In this expression, you'll:
• Make sense of where you are creatively and professionally
• Figure out why you keep showing up when you’re tired
• Trust your creative instincts while still using logic and reason
• Recognize when something needs to change
• Create a path that actually feels true to you
And you’ll explore:
• The question behind “Is this where you wanna be?”
• What happens when the life you’re building no longer feels like the life you want
• How frustration can become a signal to pay attention
• Why your creative work does not have to be perfect to have purpose
• The importance of listening to your inner creative compass
• What it means to keep creating while being willing to change your approach
The future you’re hoping for is often built by the decisions you make before it arrives. Sometimes anticipation means recognizing what is no longer working and being willing to create another way.
Sometimes the voice asking the question is not telling you to stop. Maybe it is reminding you to listen.
