Are Your Relationship Expectations Too High? Or Are You Settling for Less Than You Deserve? www.nicolabeer.com

Do you ever feel torn between expecting too much in your relationship—and not expecting enough? Are you silently suffering because your emotional needs aren’t met, but you’re unsure whether they’re valid?

In this powerful episode, Nicola Beer, internationally renowned relationship counselor, helps you answer one of love’s most complicated questions: Are my relationship expectations realistic or rooted in fear, low self-worth, or past pain?

You’ll discover:



  • Why unmet expectations often lead to silent suffering, resentment, and self-doubt



  • How childhood trauma or low self-esteem can distort what you accept in love



  • The difference between healthy boundaries and perfectionist demands



  • 7 self-reflective questions to bring clarity and balance to your needs



  • Real-life case studies that show how relationship dynamics shift when people start expressing themselves clearly and constructively



  • Communication scripts to help you ask for what you need—without blame or criticism



  • What to do when talking doesn’t work, and how small acts of love and appreciation can rebuild connection



💬 Whether you feel confused, disappointed, or unfulfilled in your relationship, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and compassion you need to navigate your expectations with grace.
