Stop Living by “Shoulds” —
A Conversation With Nina Lockwood on Get Your Happy Back
We all carry invisible rules about how we’re “supposed” to live.
I should be further along by now.
I should be more organized.
I should be calmer, thinner, nicer, more accomplished…
It’s endless.
And those “shoulds” quietly drain our joy.
In this uplifting conversation with author, artist, and transformational guide Nina Lockwood on her podcast Get Your Happy Back, Lisa Giruzzi explores how letting go of those expectations brings us back to ease, freedom, and our true nature.

👉 Stop Living by “Shoulds” (with Lisa Giruzzi) — Get Your Happy Back with Nina Lockwood on PodBean
Lisa and Nina dive into:
- how “shoulds” keep us stuck in comparison
- the difference between stress and reality
- why life is happening through us, not to us
- the surprising freedom of the present moment
- how joy returns when we stop trying to live by other people’s standards
This isn’t about “positive thinking.”
It’s about waking up to how much of our stress is invented by the mind — not reality.
When we drop the “shoulds”… peace arrives.
