Description

Why have we been taught that lowering our expectations is the key to avoiding pain? And what if that mindset is actually robbing us of the fullest version of life, joy, purpose and possibility? In this episode, we dive into the idea that it’s time to rewrite one of the most damaging pieces of advice we’ve been giving ourselves and our future generations: “Don’t get your hopes up.” This cultural conditioning has taught us to avoid uncomfortable emotions and inadvertently caused us to function at a lower frequency. In this episode, we’ll uncover the power of allowing ourselves and our kids to feel disappointment and learn proper skill sets to turn “negative” outcomes into stepping stones. We’ll also talk about how to raise our frequency by aligning with hope, not fear and recognize that disappointment isn’t dangerous, settling is.
