In this candid conversation, we continue the topic of expectations by visiting the question of what unhealthy beliefs we have of ourselves. We explore the fine line between ambition and unrealistic demands. We also confront the common trap of timing success. Learn why it's essential to understand and accept that success isn't time-bound, but a journey that's unique to each individual. Dive deep with us into personal reflections on societal pressures, the pitfalls of comparison, and the journey to self-understanding. Through our dialogue, we aim to shift the narrative around expectations, encouraging listeners to adopt a mentality of gratitude, build confidence, and replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations.Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions hereLike, share, follow and rate the podcast!
