ERP 308: How To Decode Expectations For Your Highest Good — An Interview with Christal Allen


Listen Later

Do you have to keep reminding your partner to take out the trash or put away the laundry? Well, you are not alone and it can be frustrating when you expect them to do something but they don't. As a result, you'd react negatively, and they'd respond negatively, resulting in a downward spiral that leads to a power struggle.

In this episode, Christal Allen brings to light how decoding expectations can empower you in creating ease and fulfillment in your relationship by changing how you show up in the relationship rather than waiting for the other person to change.

Christal Allen is an accomplished businesswoman, certified coach, and has a relatable down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel safe and cared for. Christal believes that women can change their relationships, household, and environments by how they carry themselves, believe in themselves and care for themselves mentally.

Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website.
