Summary

In this episode, we dive into the allure of certainty and why it's so tempting to want a clear, step-by-step guide for every aspect of life. But here's the catch—life doesn't always work that way. Whether it's raising kids, exercising, or planning your day, rigid prescriptions can often fall short. Join me as I share why I can't, in good conscience, give you a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, I'll offer tools, principles, and insights to empower you to craft your own path. Learn how to adapt, choose your "shoulds," and embrace flexibility in your journey.

0:47.8

they love the all or nothing, they love the known, they love prescriptions. And honestly, I am one of them. I think we all are by nature as humans we love and navigate to

0:58.6

Certainty I personally what I've heard described as a how girl like tell me what to do and I'll do it so you

want to get this outcome how tell me I'll do it.
