In episode three of the Make a Happy Home Podcast we're talking expectations, y'all!
We share some personal stories about how expectations have played out in our lives. How it hurt our happiness and contentment - whether it's expectations of others or ourselves.
We're also looking at the importance of being honest with ourselves. How stepping back to see situations from different perspectives can change them - and us - and ultimately lead to freedom from expectations.
We hope this conversation helps you navigate your own relationships with less pressure, more openness, and, of course, more happiness!
We look forward to connecting with you over on Instagram where we're engaging the question of happiness every day!
