What are you actually expecting in your life right now? This episode is about expectation and how it quietly shapes what we notice, how we respond, and what we stay open to. Sometimes we don’t stop believing. We just stop expecting. If you feel like your expectations have gotten low, this episode will help you lift them again and start seeing what’s possible.
