Anyone here set high expectations? If you're listening to this, please raise your hand.

Today, we're talking about the space between expectations and reality: what we think we should be able to do vs. what's actually possible.

I get honest about how perfectionism can leave working moms like us constantly disappointed — and I share a gentler way to reset your expectations without lowering your standards (or your ambition).

Tune in to hear:

• Why so many moms set sky-high expectations
• The real reasons we can't seem to meet them all (especially when it comes to our kids)
• How to navigate the stress + disappointment spiral
• 7-step process for creating a support system for your expectations

Today's episode comes to you after 15 days straight with my children.

In that time, I realized how much I care about their comfort — and how often I prioritize others' needs over my own.

I also hear this from my clients all the time.

So tune in as we break down the myth that "we should make always other people comfortable."

And join me in reconsidering why we need comfort, the cost of offering comfort, and how to expand our window of tolerance for discomfort.

Let me tell you a story.

I recently had a call with a potential client where everything seemed to go wrong. My internet glitched. My home overheated. My kids interrupted. I felt like a mess.

It definitely wasn't the "best" call I've ever done. But it turned out so much better than I could have expected.

In today's episode, I'll tell you the story of that call. And we'll talk about the necessity of generosity, how to get out of a shame spiral, the path to not over-apologizing, and why your right-fit community can help you feel good about not being your best.

Tune in for a big permission slip to let go of being perfect.
