With increased family and social time on the horizon for so many of us, we’re more than likely to run into an unexpected clash or two.

Clashes about menus or plans or politics, even.

But there’s another kind of clash we’re likely to face…

The dreaded expectations clash, i.e. when what we want for ourselves clashes with the expectations others have for us, like our family, loved ones, friends, etc.

How do we handle these divides, especially as perfectionists, people pleasers, conflict avoiders, and worthiness seekers?

How do we stay grounded in who we know ourselves to be and take responsibility for what’s ours while allowing others to own what’s theirs?

We certainly don’t have it all figured out, but for our best approaches and strategies, press play now. ▶️
