Ep. 6: Expectations
Welcome to Wholesome Thinking, the podcast where we create a safe space to use the gifts that God gave us, challenge people’s minds and stimulate wholesome thinking. Today we explore the complex world of expectations. We discuss how expectations shape our lives, from the pressures we place on ourselves to the ones we navigate within relationships. We discuss where our expectations come from and the importance of giving our selves grace when we fall short.
For those who struggle with setting expectations for themselves, we offer insights on building a healthy sense of expectation and personal growth. We also address the strain of dealing with others who take advantage of your lack of boundaries or clear expectations.
We provide strategies for setting healthy expectations and managing them with empathy, self-compassion, and understanding.
Join us as we have real conversations, give practical tools, and empowering insights to help navigate the delicate balance between self respect and the expectations of others.
