Thanks For Asking

Don't Should Yourself


Listen Later

Two things that grief brings you: Kleenex and hotdish. Two other things? Anger and people telling you what you should or shouldn't do.
Grandma Ruth (rest in peace) once gave our producer Hans a piece of wisdom that has since become a core belief of Team TTFA: "Don’t you let anyone should on you. And don’t you should on anyone else."
In this episode, grandmotherly wisdom, stories about anger, and a whole lot of shoulding on ourselves.
