This episode is all about Expectations - how to navigate though the web of other people's expectation of you, the expectations you put on yourself, and the expectations you put on others. As I thought about who should join me for this particular episode, I couldn't think of 2 better people than THE Nicole Wright and Tara Richards. These girls are the real deal. They are absolutely hands down two of my best friends and I knew they wouldn't sugar coat anything. We talk about how the expectations of your friends can shape your decisions and bleed over into fulfilling God's call on your life. We address how expectations are processed and how they influence our interactions with others. We touch on how our own personalities affect the expectations of others. We sometimes can put expectations on people in the context of our own personalities. Learning about ourselves helps us appreciate the differences in others and relate to them. We speak encouragement to people who are stuck on this hamster wheel of fulfilling the expectations of others, needing validation, so much so... that they don't even consider their own feelings, ideas, goals, whatever. The real them is buried under everyone else's idea of who they should be. We end with some practical next steps people can take: ** Recognize - who you want to be - the person, friend, mom , co-worker ** Reflection - Who are you today? Honest look at yourself ** Respond - What action are you doing to take? What is the 1% change you can make? What's the one step you can take today toward being the person you want to be? This conversation is so important. In order to live, love, and lead well, we have to be willing to get out of the box of other people's expectations. I would love to connect on social media.
