An expectation is a belief that is centered on the future and may or may not be realistic. We’re told over and over again to lower our expectations or to release them all together but many of them are subconscious.

Leslie and Leslyn share stories that demonstrate how embedded expectations are in our day to day activities and talk about how to notice them and then what to do with them when they interfere with the quality of our lives. They make the point that not all expectations are problematic and some of us may indeed benefit from keeping them in place.

A big part of this discussion focuses on becoming aware of and communicating expectations in a way that allows your relationships to flourish instead of flounder.
