In this podcast today I’m going to talk about a word we all use that is often the source of imbalance: SHOULD. Working moms have a bad habit of shoulding. This is when you say “I really should…” or “I should have …” Shoulding is a habit that only makes us feel bad about ourselves and thus has to end in order to truly create a life of balance.

In this episode I’m going to go into detail on shoulding and why it’s a problem. I’m going to show you how it is stealing away your time, contributing to a lack of confidence and making you feel not-enough and then I will give you a 5 step process to end the cycle of shoulding.

Topics in this episode:

• The bad habit of shoulding
• How shoulding leads to a lack of confidence
• How shoulding sucks away your time
• The trap of comparing ourself to others
• When you say “should” you’re really saying “I’m not enough”
• The 5 steps to end shoulding
