What if every time you felt you “should” do something you replaced “should” with “could”? What if those should’s became choices YOU got to make? Instead of actions imposed on you? Wouldn’t that be so freaking liberating?!?! We think so too.

In this episode…

• The TWO major life events that shifted Tricia’s entire view on life and living
• Uncovering the origin of the shoulds
• Turning shoulds into choices
• How effing the shoulds shows up in our selves, our work, and parenting

Tricia Huffman, aka Your Joyologist, is a rock and roll roadie at heart and by first career. She specializes in working with those in the public eye to keep them aligned with who they are and in integrity with their commitments, while also enjoying the life they are living. For over a decade she has been known for sharing real talk with heart, calling you to listen to yourself, F the Shoulds and own who YOU are – because this is YOUR life and it could all end tomorrow.

She is based in Los Angeles, where she is raising her strong-willed, independent, creative daughters and F-ing the shoulds while claiming joy daily.
