Hey friends, it’s Amy! I can’t wait to dive into today’s conversation with you because this one has the potential to completely shift the way you see your life. Have you ever stopped to think about how much your expectations shape your reality? Let me tell you, it’s bigger than you think.

Inspired by the book The Expectation Effect and my own experiences, this episode is all about recognizing the power of your beliefs and learning how to raise your expectations to align with the life you want to live. Whether you’ve been knocked down by setbacks, feel stuck in your current situation, or just need a little encouragement to dream big again—this is for you.

Here’s the truth: Your expectations are the guideposts of your life. It’s time to raise them, step out in faith, and believe that something incredible is waiting for you. Let’s do this!

In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:

• The science behind expectations and why your brain works as a “prediction agent.”
• How your beliefs can influence everything from your health to your success.
• The lessons I’ve learned about expectations through my own challenges.
• Simple ways to shift your mindset and set the bar higher for yourself.
• Why your words and thoughts matter more than you realize (and how to change them).
