This episode is for you if the start of a new year has brought up quiet pressure instead of clarity. If thoughts like "I should be further along," "I should be doing more," or "I should want this by now" keep looping in your head, this conversation is meant for you. Those thoughts rarely feel motivating. They usually feel heavy, discouraging, and disconnecting, even when you are genuinely trying.
In this episode, I walk you through why the word "should" tends to show up so strongly during transitions like a new year, and how it quietly pulls you into comparison, unrealistic expectations, and self-doubt. We talk about where those thoughts actually come from, how they affect your relationship with your body and your goals, and how to begin choosing habits and directions that feel supportive instead of draining. This is about moving into 2026 with more self-trust, clarity, and intention.
Here is what you will learn:
• Why "should" is often rooted in external expectations
• How living by obligation creates constant self-criticism
• Why "should" disconnects you from what you truly want
• How your body signals when something feels misaligned
• How shifting your language can change how you show up
