In our wellness journeys, we often find ourselves navigating a complex landscape, where societal expectations and the pressure of 'shoulds' can easily steer us off course. It's a struggle that many of us face, and it's important to acknowledge and validate this challenge.

Often, we find ourselves wrestling with decisions, worrying if we're making the 'right choice' or battling guilt for choices that feel right to us but might not align with what we've been conditioned to believe is acceptable.
