Lower Your Expectations, Consider the Source
In this raw, unfiltered episode, I bring you a Coffee Confession straight from the heart. What started as a celebration of my podcast launch turned into a painful reminder of emotional triggers and the complex dynamics of family relationships. I explore what it means to be vulnerable, to seek love and understanding from those closest to us—and how to protect your peace when they can’t meet you where you are.
We talk growth, grief, the psychology behind emotional reactions, and the importance of empathy—even when you’re not getting any in return. If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or unsupported, this one’s for you.

→ Just because you love someone doesn’t mean they can go on your journey.
→ Protecting your peace sometimes means keeping your wins private.
→ Don’t dive deep into shallow waters—it’s a recipe for pain.
→ Growth means seeing the pattern and choosing to change.
→ Vulnerability is strength—but it requires a safe space.
