014 - The Should Season: Choosing Peace Over Performance

Hey babygurl, it’s that time of year again… the holiday season, or what I like to call The Should Season.You know the one.“I should visit my family.”“I should keep the peace.”“I should smile and stay quiet, even when someone crosses a line.”In this episode, we unpack what it means to stop shoulding on yourself and start choosing peace, not performance. Because real leadership begins with how we lead ourselves, especially when we’re around the people who raised us or the systems that shaped us.You’ll learn how to pack your inner carry-on for theholidays. The emotional tools and reminders that help you stay grounded, clear, and compassionate, no matter who’s sitting across the table.We’ll talk about boundaries that don’t make you cold, but make you clear. About choosing your breath over reactivity.And about practicing peace, not performing it.Whether you’re heading into a family dinner that tests your patience, or a team meeting that tests your values, this episode will help you travel light and lead with presence, not perfection.Reflection Questions:Where in your life do you feel the pull to perform instead of simply be present?What “shoulds” can you release this season to protect your peace?What belongs in your inner carry-on... the tools and truths that help you stay grounded?Thanks for listening.
