Most of our lives, we have trained in should.

Many of us may have even become masters of should.

But how many of us are willing to question should, to challenge should, to venture out somewhere beyond should?

How many of us are willing to disappoint another in order to be true to ourselves?

How many of us are willing to risk being authentic?

In this epic episode, Kris and Lila (formerly Monica) delve into the shadowy habitat of should: how it feels, the effects it has on our lives, and what we can do to reclaim our power—to live the life that we choose.

Notable Quotes

“Should is the blockage of the life force that we were talking about when we were talking about living in our own way.” -Kris

“When we question the shoulds, it points us directly to our wants. What do we want? And I think that we get so buried in our shoulds that that’s what we lose track of. That’s what’s lost if we focus too much on should.” -Kris

“You can either live the life that you wanna live or you can do what you should do.” -Lila
