Stop Shoulding Yourself

I am teaming up with Halo Top to inspire others to stop “shoulding themselves.” Yes you heard that right, stop shoulding! We all have things that we are told we “should” do. What we should eat, how we should act, how are future should look. A lot of us are shoulding instead of truly living including myself.

There was a time where I felt like the world was telling me a lot of what I SHOULD do. Slowly over the years I stopped shoulding and started living but it took some time to get here. Funny enough there was a time I felt like I should only post very specific content and I should NEVER post images of me with food because people will assume all I do is eat and that I must be unhealthy. I was so worried of being perceived as a certain way that I started limiting my creativity. I tried to mimic what others thought was cool or trendy and started losing sight of who I was and what my true passion is. Flash forward to the present where I am posing with my favorite Halo Top light ice cream and truly enjoying myself without shame. Whether I eat just one bite or the whole pint I feel like I am doing what I want and feeling good about it. I am being my authentic self and having fun with ways I inspire and am staying true to who I am as a creator now.

Whether it’s people telling you how you should dress, others telling you how you should feel, or just simply telling you how you should live, I hope my story inspires you to let go and embrace the more human side of being. When we let go of the shoulds we tap into what truly makes us come alive and feel ourselves.

XOXO,
