Sweet & Sour Sessions

Episode 05. Shedding the "Shoulds"


Listen Later

What happens when the life you were working toward suddenly doesn’t feel right?

In this episode, Erin unpacks the moment she realized she was chasing a roadmap she never chose - and how questioning the “shoulds” around marriage, kids, careers, bodies, and timelines changed everything. This is a conversation about unlearning expectations, redefining fulfillment, and giving yourself permission to evolve.

If you’ve ever felt behind, conflicted, or quietly wondering if there’s more - this one’s for you.
