108 | Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda: Releasing Regret & Rebuilding Self-Trust
Description
Are you caught in a spiral of "shoulds" — I should post more, I should have known better, I should be doing it all?
In this episode, Ginger unpacks the emotional weight of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" thinking and how it leads to guilt, burnout, and decision-making that prioritizes others over your own needs. You'll explore how "should" statements often stem from external expectations—not from your own authentic desires.
Through real-life stories (including Ginger's own vinyl-cutting saga!) and thought-provoking coaching insight, you'll learn how to:
-
Recognize cognitive distortions like "should" thinking
-
Understand how misplaced beliefs impact your time, energy, and leadership
-
Reconnect with what you actually want—beyond obligation or outside pressure
-
Stop making decisions that feel aligned with everyone else's dreams but not yours
