On this week's podcast, Sofia and I debate topics related to expectations. What do expectations mean in terms of our happiness? When (if ever) does it make sense to have expectations in life?

To have dreams and to have a vision for your life is a completely healthy part of seeking an authentic life. But to do so entirely at the expense of your present reality can be harmful. Today we discuss that delicate balance between working toward your dreams and fully living within your current reality.

This week we turn things around and discuss what we think it means to live in a way that is "less than authentic".
