Beyond Should: women reinventing their lives, careers & owning their power

What happens when your life looks good on paper…but something still feels off?In this solo episode of Beyond Should, Lucy Reynolds gets personal about her decision to move back to her hometown of Austin and the deeper questions that led her there. Using the framework of people, place, and purpose, she explores how the things that once made a life feel right may not be what we need in our next chapter.Lucy shares how to recognize when you’re out of alignment with your current values, why wanting something different doesn’t make you ungrateful, and how the Wheel of Life can help reveal where you’re thriving—and where there may be friction.Because sometimes the should to shed is simply: “My life is good, so I should be happy with it exactly as it is.”You don’t have to blow up your life. You just have to get honest about what you want now.Check out The Murmuration CollectiveInterested in 1:1 Coaching with LucyConnect with us on Instagram & LinkedInSubscribe to our monthly newsletter
