Welcome back to Embrace Your Value with your hosts Jen, the accountability ally and permission grantor, and Kristin, your neighborhood therapist. Today, we’re tackling one of the sneakiest words that holds way too much power over our lives — “should.”

From “I should have it all together” to “I should work harder,” these ingrained ‘shoulds’ rooted in guilt and old conditioning drive us towards burnout, frustration, and self-doubt. Together, Jen and Kristin explore how the ‘shoulds’ we carry often come from societal messages, family, or social media — not our authentic selves.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why “should” thoughts can lead you astray and how to question where they come from

• How to identify and challenge the limiting beliefs hidden under your ‘shoulds’

• The power of reclaiming your narrative and aligning your life with your true values

• Practical tips for replacing “should” with choices rooted in what truly energizes and fulfills you

• Why letting go of just one ‘should’ can create real space for joy and freedom

• Encouragement to share your ‘shoulds’ and start a ripple of positive change

If you’re ready to stop living by everyone else’s expectations and start designing a life aligned with who you really are, this episode is your essential guide.
