At Some Point, a “Should” Took the Wheel

Maybe it was the should of keeping the peace. Or having it all together. Or being the one who never needs anything in return.

You may not remember when it became a rule.

But you can probably see where it has shaped your life.

What you agreed to.
What you gave up.
What you stopped asking for.

And maybe, somewhere along the way, what once made sense simply became the way you lived.

Most of us carry ideas about who we should be, what we should want, what we should do, and what a good life is supposed to look like.

Some were handed to us.
Some we chose for ourselves.
Some may have served us well for a very long time.

But a rule that once fit your life doesn't automatically get to keep shaping it forever.

At some point, you get to ask whether the shoulds you've been living by still belong to the woman you are now and the life you want next.

This roundtable is an hour to have that conversation.

What We'll Explore

Together, we'll look more closely at the shoulds that can quietly shape the way we live, the choices we make, and what we allow ourselves to want.

This isn't about rejecting every expectation, obligation, or responsibility in your life. It's about becoming more conscious of what has been guiding you and giving yourself permission to question what no longer fits.

Because sometimes the shift begins with one simple realization:

I don't have to keep living by this "should" just because I always have.

This Conversation Is for You If...

• You've started questioning expectations or choices that once made sense but don't feel quite as true anymore.
• Your life looks fine from the outside but doesn't feel fully like your own on the inside.
• You're ready to get more honest about what you want, even if you're not yet sure what comes next.

You don't need answers. You just need to be willing to ask the questions.
