In today’s episode, I’m discussing one of the silent killers of happiness: expectations. Typically this comes up in my coaching, whether with individuals or teams, as we humans have a tendency to put a lot of weight on what other people think about us or expect from us. And, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, when we default to trying to live up to expectations (whether they are real or perceived), we end up unhappy with our choices and afraid to make a change.

So, if you are someone who has found yourself trying to live up to expectations — whether in your career, relationships or other parts of your life — this episode is for you. I’m not only talking about why this is unhelpful but also what you can do to take the fist steps to ditch the people pleasing and go after what YOU want.

Did you hear about the She Doesn’t Settle Coffee Blend?! It’s a delicious blend that is both subtle and strong…and I want to send some to you!
