In this episode, Emily explores the silent weight of expectations. The expectations that we place on others, and more critically, the ones we place on ourselves. With personal stories, grounded research, and practical tools, she talks you through what happens when we unknowingly hold ourselves to unrealistic standards, and how those unspoken rules quietly drain our energy. Emily unpacks the science of rumination, the cost of internal pressure, and five actionable tools to break the mental loop and return to presence. Hit play for this much needed reality check and a supportive space for anyone who feels like they’re doing it all and carrying too much.
