Where do expectations come from and what impact do they have on us? How do we frame those expectations and ensure they are realistic? Becky P. shares some thoughts on how to examine the expectations we hold in our life and how to curate them in a way that gives us the space and freedom to succeed. You will feel inspired to unshackle yourself from unrealistic expectations and open yourself up to new expectations that can foster more peace and contentment.

172: Our Gift to You

One of the great and important things we can realize for ourselves — and help our kids to realize — is the impact we each have on others. Depression and anxiety is at an all-time high … people feel isolated and alone … and we KNOW that a kind word or action from someone can literally change someone else’s life for the better. We each have the responsibility to treat everyone in our sphere of influence with kindness and respect — and teaching that responsibility to our children not only empowers them to positively impact the lives of those around them, but also increases their own capacity for love.
