Congratulations! You've stumbled upon our 50th Getting Better With Age podcast episode - a profound exploration into the labyrinth of life's expectations and the havoc they wreak on our happiness. 

Have you ever stopped to ponder why your unmet expectations often leads you down a path that ultimately leaves you to feel angry, frustrated and upset? 

We did! And the answers we found might just change your whole perspective. 

In this we discuss how expectations, be it from parents, peers, or even the media, subtly shape our behaviors and responses, often causing unnecessary stress and unhappiness.

We help you understand how to manage these expectations, prevent them from controlling your emotions, and get you back on track to being happy, even when life (And people) aren't going your way.

Our conversation doesn't stop there. We delve into the crucial distinction between expectations and standards, revealing how the latter can become your guiding light when expectations fail you. 

You'll learn how to assertively stand in your power and demand the respect you deserve. 

We also discuss the expectations we place on ourselves and those thrust upon us by others, acknowledging the immense pressure they often bring.

More importantly, we offer insights on how to navigate these expectations with grace and compassion, without succumbing to the feelings of inadequacy they often incite.

This episode is more than just a podcast, it's your roadmap to a happier self, one that understands and appreciates the complexities of expectations and knows how to find joy despite them.
