I don't know about you, but I used to be constantly frustrated or disappointed in myself and others. And for the longest time, I really had no idea why.
In this episode, I dive into the weight we put on ourselves by having rigid expectations.
You may have heard this a multitude of times and that is why I am sharing three more recent experiences where having an expectation caused a negative reaction from me.
And how reading "A Tribe Called Bliss" by Lori Harder has opened my eyes to the importance of flexibility and acceptance in managing expectations and offers 3 practical steps to navigate this complex emotional landscape.
