Disappointment is part of life, but it doesn't have to control how we respond.

In this episode of ProblemSolvHer, Chloe and Dagmar explore why disappointment often comes from unmet expectations, different communication styles, and the stories we create in our own minds.

Through personal experiences involving friendships, family, childhood expectations, and difficult conversations, they discuss how learning to communicate openly, adjusting expectations, and focusing on what we can control can help us move through disappointment with greater peace.

Whether you're feeling disappointed by someone else—or by yourself—this conversation offers a different way to look at life's difficult moments.
