Metanoia Madness

The Weight of Expectations — Releasing Who You Think You Should Be


Listen Later

Welcome back to Metanoia Madness

the space where we unravel everything we were taught to be

so we can remember who we actually are.

I’m Nicholas, and today we’re diving into something subtle yet heavy

the weight of expectations.

The invisible pressure to live up to an image that no longer fits.

Maybe you’ve been chasing the version of yourself that looks successful on paper

but feels misaligned in your soul.

Maybe every “should” in your life — I should be further, happier, more stable

has turned into a quiet prison.

This episode is about setting that weight down.

You’ll learn:

– How “should” becomes an unconscious form of self-rejection

– Why expectations often begin as love and end as pressure

– How to move through the fear of disappointing others and yourself

– What it actually means to release the image of who you thought you had to be

– How to return to authenticity without guilt or shame

Because peace doesn’t come from performing for belonging.

It comes from remembering who you were before the performance began.

You were meant to remember it.
