In episode 170 Lisa shares a lesson she learned when her youngest son Jake was just 5 about expectations. 
Nothing quite like getting the training wheels off only to be thrust into oncoming traffic to realize that maybe those expectations were a bit unrealistic.
Do you often set the bar so high that you struggle to feel successful, or fulfilled, or simply happy?
Are you always reaching for more, but then telling yourself that you should already be there by now?
Today's episode will challenge you to look at where you can lower the bar, so you can achieve more and allow space for more compassion, empathy and understanding.
