We all have expectations that are placed on us, whether it’s from loved ones (such as parents, a partner, friend group)  at work, or even just from society.

People come to expect certain things from us and the time can come when those patterns and expectations aren’t helpful or are even downright hurtful or toxic.

And then it’s time to stop following the rules and break those patterns.

This can be tough for us as sensitives since many of us can become people-pleasers in the attempt of keeping the peace around us. 

But it’s not helpful or kind. 

So… what happens when you don’t follow those rules? What do you do?

That’s what this episode is all about! In it, you’ll hear:

• Ways to handle the discomfort of breaking patterns,
• Why it’s not your job to fix it so others feel okay,
• How to remain focused on why you’re choosing a different response,
• The reason expectations aren’t always fair,
• How to safely explain to others why you’re doing what you’re doing,
• Why you can be the adult in the room, 
• And more!
