Without a doubt, the words we use influence our thoughts and feelings. For example, the word SHOULD always seems to come with guilt or shame or judgment. But what if we challenged the SHOULDs in our life?In this episode, we encourage you to stop SHOULD-ing all over yourself by helping you recognize when SHOULD is having a negative effect.
