Description

There is often a painful gap between what we expect from life and what actually unfolds. From relationships to career goals to parenting, Amanda shares candid stories of when expectations didn’t match reality, and how she’s learned to navigate those moments.

Key Takeaways:

•  The Two Common Responses: Why we either ignore our unmet expectations or cling too tightly to them (and why neither truly helps).
•  Grieving the “What Should Have Been”: How to acknowledge the disappointment without getting stuck.
•  Finding the Good in Reality: Discovering the good that exists even when things don’t go as planned.
•  Practical Steps Forward: Recognizing what you can and can’t control, and choosing how to show up in your current season.
