How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Springville

For the quietly restless in Springville

Nobody in Springville sets out to drift. It happens in a season of good-enough — the commute, the calendar, the comfortable sameness — and then one Tuesday you realize you've been coasting on autopilot.

And this is Springville: a Provo-Orem-area community of strivers and settlers — very often the same person, on the same Tuesday That's not a coincidence — this is precisely the place the question was waiting for.

🎧 A note for Springville readers (in her voice)

“Ambition is not ingratitude.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Springville readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

The two-column dinner question

At dinner this week, ask someone you trust: 'What am I better at than I was a year ago?' Sit with the pause before they answer.
Write the pause down. The topic of the pause is your next move in Springville.

None of this means your life is broken. It means it's ready. Gratitude was never supposed to be the finish line — it's the fuel.

What it never does

It's the rare growth book that honors what you've already built. The argument isn't that your life is wrong; it's that your life is unfinished — and that the difference matters.

You asked — Springville answers

Is this aimed at women? It's written with a broad, warm voice that lands strongly with women 30-60 — book-club favorite territory — and plenty of husbands keep borrowing it.

What's the one-line takeaway? 'Grateful' and 'growing' were never opposites — and the moment you pick both, the guilt goes quiet.
