This time I chat with Valentina Pietrangeli, co-founder of Trust The Rain, about Parents Expectations.

We dive deep into the real meaning of parents expectations and highlight important concepts such as unconscious parenting, self-awareness, parental dissapointment and fear of failure.

Valentina clarifies my dilemma about parents expectations, because from my perspective, placing expectations on our children is actually healthy and positive. But the question here is, when does it become negative? She explains how to find that sweet spot where our expectations are helpful and not harmful.

She talks as well about the consequences on our adult mental health when we have been brought up with high expectations, and she shares how she is managing and healing some of these consequences as a grown up.
