"I should be further in my career by now." "I should be married/have babies by this age." "We've been together this long, we should be married by now." Any of these sound familiar? Whether you are receiving pressure regarding where you "should" be in life at any given time by a direct person in your life - like mom/ partner/ friends, or your ego is feeling the general societal should pressure imposed by the patriarchy throughout time, the pressure to be where you "should" be is something many of us battle with. So what's the difference between external 'shoulds,' contrast that sparks manifestation, or aligning to your needs, wants and desires? How can you determine the difference between the 'shoulds' and soulful alignment?

In this episode, Whitney and Ariel explore how we have worked on releasing the 'shoulds' and living through alignment - connecting to our inner truth and guidance in leading our own life, and helping others connect to theirs. 

What are you thinking you 'should' be doing at this point of your life that doesn't feel in alignment to how you feel and your alignment? How have you moved through contrasting shoulds? How did leaning into a should v alignment affect your journey? When have you braved alignment and how did that feel? Share your reactions with us!
