In this episode of the podcast, we delve into overcoming the burden of 'shoulding'—that nagging feeling of always having to meet certain expectations.

I chat with my client Marilyn about how this constant pressure was dictating her life choices, causing stress and preventing her from being present with her family. Throughout our coaching, we explored identifying these intrusive thoughts and finding strategies to pivot away from them.

Marilyn shares her journey of shifting from feeling overwhelmed by obligations to embracing a more balanced, fulfilling life as a working mom.

Topics in this episode:

• Tackling the pressure of "shoulds" and how to shake them off. 
• Insights from Marilyn's coaching experience and key takeaways. 
• Strategies for juggling career goals and motherhood effectively. 
• Marilyn's personal growth journey and the shifts in her mindset. 
• Handy tools and techniques from coaching to live more intentionally.
