Have you ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it's never enough? You continue striving forward, but it seems like the goal post keeps moving, and you can never feel fully satisfied with where you are in life. If you're feeling anxious, pressured, worried, and constantly stressing yourself with your own expectations, it may be a signal you're placing unrealistic expectations on yourself—ones that harm your mental health more than they help. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to hold unrealistic expectations, how they impact high achievers' mental health, and whether you should lower, adjust, or realign those expectations, to preserve both your ambition and your peace.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to recognize when your expectations are working against you
- Ways to adjust your goals without losing momentum
- Tools to care for your mental health while staying driven

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
