Why do we feel the need to “should” on ourselves and others?
In this reflective and thought-provoking bonus episode, Mandi and Karen unpack the subtle—but powerful—ways we impose expectations through the word “should.” Whether it’s “I should have known better” or “You should do this,” these judgments can disconnect us from growth.
At Monomyth Diaries, we intentionally avoid giving advice—not because we don’t care, but because we believe in wisdom gained from listening to the experiences of others.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by expectations—your own or someone else’s—this episode offers a freeing perspective.
