Ever wrestled with the weight of a difficult decision, feeling the tug-of-war between what you've been taught and what your gut is screaming at you? Join us for this heart-to-heart as we peel back the layers of socialized guilt and its power in our lives.  First, we explore some of the reasons we often find ourselves pulled along by social norms even when they aren't working for us or we fundamentally disagree with them. Next, we turn to some of the shifts in perspective that have helped us focus on what we truly value. Finally, we discuss some of  the tools that have helped us make difficult life choices from a place of confidence rather than fear.
