from Becoming In the Middle · host Alicia Howard
Do you ever catch yourself living by invisible rules you never really chose? Rules like "I should always keep the house perfect" or "They should know what I need without me asking." These kinds of self-imposed rules can quietly run the show, often creating stress, guilt, or frustration. In this episode, I invite you to look at the rules you've created for yourself—and for others. You'll learn how to: Recognize the hidden "rules" guiding your daily life Use a simple exercise to identify which rules are serving you and which are not Give yourself permission to rewrite or release the rules that keep you stuck Spot how "shoulds" sneak into your relationships (sometimes even disguised as questions) and how to shift them This is part one of a two-part series, where we'll begin by breaking down the personal and relational rules that may be weighing you down. It's time to loosen the grip of the "shoulds" and step into more freedom, ease, and authenticity. Subscribe to my newsletter here.
