In this week's episode, Leanna discusses the practice of "shoulding" ourselves—believing we should be different, do more, or already know certain things—which is so common for high achieving women. She explores the reasons behind this mindset, such as high expectations, fear of public failure, and comparison. Leanna highlights the negative consequences of constantly feeling like we should be somewhere else and provides practical strategies for overcoming this mindset.

As with many other topics, Leanna encourages awareness and self-reflection, urging listeners to notice and question their "should" thoughts.
