About this episode
This episode explores the impact of expectations we place on others and ourselves, highlighting the double standards that can lead to frustration and strained relationships.
In this episode I explore the tricky territory of expectations- those we place on others that we might not meet ourselves. How often do we find ourselves disappointed in others, only to realize that we don't hold ourselves to the same standard? From relationships to friendships, I break down the impact of expecting without giving, and how these double standard can lead to frustration, strained connections, and even self-deception. Through relatable examples and eye-opening insights, this episode challenges you to reflect on your own expectations and offer others actionable steps to build healthier, more balance more balanced relationships. Join us as we toast to self-awareness, accountability, and creating more genuine connections with the people around us.
