This episode took a turn I didn’t plan… again. And maybe that’s exactly the point.
In Part 2 of this 3-part reflection (unfolding during a very on-brand Mercury Retrograde), I’m sharing what it really means to release expectations—not just outcomes, but all the mental noise about how things should be.
I’ll take you into a story about helping a neighbor, the lessons from a summer in Chicago with my daughter, and how I learned (the hard way) that checking in with my heart is always wiser than listening to ego-fueled productivity.
✨ In this episode:
– Why life doesn’t have to look a certain way to be beautiful
– The difference between detaching and releasing
– A reflection on compassion without self-abandonment
– How unspoken expectations can drain us—and how grace refills us
– A gentle nudge to serve from overflow, not obligation
If you’re navigating shifting plans, repeating patterns, or unexpected pivots… this one’s for you.
💌 Let’s keep the conversation going:
