Stop “Shoulding” All Over Yourself — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Do you have a voice in your head telling you what you should and shouldn’t do?
Why does this “tyranny of should” drain our aliveness, passion, and connection?
And how might your life change if you weren’t afraid to be who you truly are?
Today, Alyson and I talk about how we all “should” on ourselves and each other. We explore how this can leave us feeling trapped and emotionally constipated—and what life can feel like when we loosen our grip on control.
In this conversation:
- Why we lack passion, aliveness, and freedom
- Being afraid to speak up for what we want
- Feeling guilty for wanting something
- Believing it’s not okay to feel a certain way
- Playing a role in relationships and at work
Plus:
- What happens when emotions and conversations are off limits
- Being emotionally constipated
- Controlling ourselves and others
- Shutting down your emotions
- Being afraid to be yourself
