I want you to think about something that you are telling yourself you HAVE to do. Maybe you HAVE to stay married to your husband because divorce is not an option, or you HAVE to have your kids in all of the activities, or you HAVE to eat a salad instead of the oreos you’re craving.

When we tell ourselves that we HAVE to do something, we’re taking away our agency and causing resentment towards whomever we perceive as the reason we HAVE to do that thing. Listen to this episode to get the 4 steps you need to take to stop telling yourself you HAVE to do something and to start giving yourself OPTIONS.

Ready to stop feeling angry at your husband

before he even walks through the door at night?

Not keeping score doesn’t require you to keep quiet and silently seeth while doing everything on your own. It does help you let go of anger and resentment and focus on solutions instead of scoreboards. It means you make room for working together instead of feeling isolated and alone.
