6: How we 'should' other people (and stress ourselves out over it)

We’ve been talking a lot lot about letting go of the ‘shoulds’ we put on ourselves — but what about the ones we place on other people?

In this episode, I’m diving into our unconscious tendency to ‘should’ others — expecting people to act, think or respond in ways that we believe they should. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ latest book The Let Them Theory, I explore how our expectations of others creates frustration, disappointment and unnecessary stress in our lives, and offer some other more peaceful ways to deal with them instead.

Here’s what I talk about:

✨ What we’re really doing when we ‘should’ others

✨ The two key steps of Let Them Theory: letting people be who they are and taking responsibility for our reactions.

✨ How releasing control over others' behaviours leads to a more empowered, liberated life.

✨ Some real life examples of how we ‘should’ others (and what to do instead).

I’ll show you how when we stop trying to control what others do and focus our attention on our choices and actions, we can finally step out of that cycle of resentment, disappointment and stress.

🎧 Listen now to start embracing the Let Them mindset and start enjoying plenty more freedom and ease in your relationships.
