As the New Year approaches, this episode is about exploring the difference between expectations and aspirations, and why confusing the two can quietly undermine our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Expectations outcomes, they're finite, and often fuel anxiety and discouragement when things don't go according to our will or life doesn't cooperate. Aspirations, by contrast are open ended, hopeful, and about direction (purpose) rather than arrival. My prayer is that this episode helps listeners let go of the pressure of perfection and choose faithfulness, trust, and perseverance stepping into the year ahead.
