In this episode, we explore the trap of expectation—how it shapes our behaviors, fuels disappointment, and distorts reality. I share personal stories of how expectation caused frustration, lost friendships, and low self-worth. We’ll also discuss detachment as a way to break free from these cycles and live more present, intuitively, and open to experience.

🎧 Tune in and explore how letting go of expectation—detachment—can unlock a deeper, more intuitive way of living.’

Key Takeaways

* Expectation often leads to disappointment, especially when reality doesn’t align with our imagined outcomes.

Why Do We Fall Into This Trap?

* Fear and self-judgment: Expectations stem from our perceptions of reality, which are rooted in how we see ourselves.

The Consequences of Living in Expectation

• We anticipate failure or disappointment, reinforcing our belief that life is against us, and we opt out of experiences because we think we already know how they’ll turn out.

How Do We Break Free?

• Detachment is the key—letting go of rigid expectations and embracing experiences as lessons rather than judgments of our worth. With detachment, we get to view emotions as a response to reality, rather than a reaction to preconceived fears.
