Hello, my beautiful friends! Today, we're diving into a habit that's sneaky, sticky, and oh-so-familiar: shoulding on ourselves. In this episode, we're talking all about the "shoulds" that weigh us down—the external pressures, internal beliefs, and societal narratives that tell us we should be doing more, achieving faster, or feeling differently than we do. Sound familiar? Don't worry—I've got you covered with practical steps to shift from "should" to want and feel more aligned and present in your life. What You'll Learn: What "shoulding" actually means: Why we place unrealistic expectations on ourselves and how it leads to guilt, frustration, and burnout. The sneaky sources of "shoulding": From family expectations to social media comparisons, we'll explore where these patterns come from. How to break free from the "should" cycle: Learn how to notice, question, and reframe your "shoulds" into authentic desires that align with your core values. Key Takeaways: Awareness is everything: Start by noticing your "should" statements. Where are you placing pressure on yourself to meet someone else's standards? Shift from "should" to "choose": Instead of "I should go to yoga," try "I choose to go to yoga because it makes me feel good." Feel that difference? Curiosity over guilt: When you catch a "should," get curious: "Where did this belief come from? Is it mine, or did I inherit it?" Redefine success on your terms: Your success isn't measured by how much you do but by how aligned, present, and fulfilled you feel. Here’s a challenge for you: Make a list of every "should" that pops into your head this week. Then, question each one: Why do I feel this way? What would I choose instead? And remember my favorite mantra: You are exactly where you're meant to be.

Welcome back, my beautiful friend! Today’s episode is about something we all face—the unknown—and how to lean into self-trust when things feel uncertain. Uncertainty is always present in relationships, careers, motherhood, or personal growth. But here’s the thing: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to trust yourself to figure it out as you go. I share my journey of embracing the unknown, especially in motherhood, and how perfectionism can sneak in and make us believe we need to have a perfect plan. Spoiler alert: we don’t! I also share a powerful client story about how they embraced the unknown and came out stronger than ever. We wrap up with a guided exercise to help you anchor into self-trust and a few key takeaways to help you shift your mindset around uncertainty. Let’s lean into the messy middle, release perfectionism, and remind ourselves that the unknown is where all the magic happens. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How motherhood (and life!) constantly invites us to embrace the unknown Why perfectionism holds us back and how to release it The power of trusting yourself through uncertainty A guided breathwork exercise to help you cultivate self-trust Three actionable takeaways to help you move forward with confidence 3 Key Takeaways: Practice Presence: Shift your focus from controlling the outcome to fully showing up in the moment. Reframe Self-Doubt: Instead of thinking, “I don’t know enough,” remind yourself, “I am learning as I go.” Lean into Trust: Ask yourself, “Where in my life am I waiting for certainty instead of taking the next step?” Links & Resources: Follow me on Instagram: @brittnyking_ Join my 6-week Breathwork Integration Coaching Series to dive deeper into self-trust and transformation.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about something so many of us struggle with: gratitude. When life gets tough, whether it’s grief, anxiety, trauma, or burnout, it can feel like gratitude is just out of reach. And on top of that, the societal pressure to “just be grateful” can make you feel even worse when you can’t tap into that feeling. I’ve been there. I’ve felt that disconnect. But here’s the thing: gratitude doesn’t happen by simply thinking positively. It comes after you’ve allowed yourself to feel all the messy, difficult emotions, like grief, anger, and confusion. Only then can you start to open the door to real, embodied gratitude. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: Why it’s so hard to feel grateful when you’re struggling with mental health. How toxic positivity and societal pressure just make things worse. The power of mindfulness and breathwork in reconnecting with gratitude. Simple, practical steps you can take to start cultivating gratitude, even when it feels impossible. Gratitude isn’t about avoiding tough emotions. It’s about honoring all of them—because when you do, the light starts to shine through. It’s okay if you’re not feeling grateful right now. You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. There’s always support waiting for you. Connect with Brittny:Instagram: @brittnyking_Website: www.brittnyking.comEmail: hello@brittnyking.com

She helps high-achievers overcome self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and people-pleasing behaviors to lead more fulfilling personal and professional lives.

She holds certifications in life coaching, wellness, high-performance coaching, and conscious parenting. Kamini’s unique approach helps her clients achieve personal and professional fulfillment.

Kamini provides practical strategies for recognizing and addressing these feelings by reconnecting with your core self and values. We also discuss self-sabotage as a form of self-protection and how to break free from it.

Self-sabotage is a form of self-protection, often used to prevent failure but ultimately hinders growth.

This mindset often leads to disconnect, but Abby shows us it doesn’t have to be that way. Join us to learn about: Reframing the competition mindset The importance of defining your standards The brain's role in filtering information Setting boundaries that actually work Building a relationship with yourself first Outsourcing & letting go of perfectionism We all want to feel loved, supported, and appreciated in our relationships, but unspoken expectations often lead to disappointment.
