Description

This episode is about recognising when it’s time to let go of the expectations you’re holding onto too tightly, especially the ones that no longer match your current season of life.

I share a real and recent shift in my own expectations around work, what led me to notice something was off, and how changing that one thing has lifted my mental load in big ways.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why expectations (even helpful ones) can quietly become outdated

- The signs your expectations might need a refresh

- How unspoken rules you’ve set for yourself can quietly drain you

- What happened when I finally gave myself permission to update mine

- A simple question to ask when something just feels off

This is a must listen if you’re feeling stretched, mentally tapped out, or like you’re constantly wrestling with time.
