Ever notice how often you tell yourself what you “should” do in your career? These professional “shoulds” often masquerade as wisdom, but they’re actually limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in conventional paths that might not align with our true potential.

In this transformative second episode of our identity series, we’re taking a closer look at those persistent “shoulds” that shape our career decisions. From staying in traditional roles to pricing our services “like everyone else,” these invisible rules can hold us back from creating the impact we’re truly capable of making.

Building on our exploration of professional identity, this episode breaks down why these limiting beliefs exist, where they come from, and most importantly – how to move past them to create a career that feels authentically yours.

 

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

 

• The hidden impact of professional “shoulds” on your career decisions
• Where these limiting beliefs actually come from (it’s not where you think)
• The crucial difference between professional standards and limiting beliefs
• How to recognize when a “should” is protecting you vs. restricting you
• Why breaking free from traditional expectations isn’t selfish – it’s necessary
• What becomes possible when you start making decisions based on authentic choices rather than obligations
• How to navigate pushback when you start breaking conventional career “rules”

 

Whether you’re questioning traditional career paths or simply tired of letting “shoulds” drive your professional choices, this episode offers a fresh perspective on creating your own definition of success. Get ready to transform those limiting beliefs into possibilities that align with who you truly are as a nutrition professional.
