EP 144 | Why communicating expectations is not a one-and-done
Description
In this episode, I’m talking about the frustration that comes when you’ve communicated something once… and then it slowly ends up back on your plate.
This is your reminder that communicating expectations isn’t a one and done job.
Especially when it comes to offloading your mental load in a way that actually lasts.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why sharing your mental load doesn’t always “stick” the first time
- How to set expectations without burning out in the process
- What to do when the help you asked for boomerangs straight back
- How to keep going when it feels easier to “just do it yourself”
- Why persistence matters (and how to make it feel lighter)
If you’re in that frustrating cycle of communicating and then re-communicating (and wondering if it’s worth it), this episode will help you zoom out and refocus on the long term goal which is a mental load that’s actually shared, not just shuffled.
