Summary

In this solo episode, Corrine dives deep into the pressures we place on ourselves with the word “should.” From societal expectations to self-imposed demands, she explores how many of these “shoulds” are unnecessary burdens. Corrine shares personal stories, such as dealing with sick kids and the struggles of feeling like she must always show up on social media. By offering insight into shifting mindsets, embracing essentialism, and finding freedom from codependency, she encourages listeners to zoom out, prioritize what truly matters, and shed the weight of what others think. This episode is a refreshing reminder to live authentically and intentionally.

1:10.0	And the reason why I want to talk about this word is because I had a friend who was kind of venting to me about how she felt like she should get on her Instagram stories and talk about something and she's a creator too, a content creator and I just responded to her and was like give yourself permission to not do that if you're not feeling up to it.
