Re-Framing Expectations - a podcast by Tresa & Ashlee

Expectations, seem to dwell under the foundation of everything we do in life. We are held to their impossible standards and unconsciously hold those we love to ours.  Expectations we place on ourselves can become great benchmarks to achieve goals and find success, but when we project them onto others we become disappointed or dissatisfied in relationships. 

We share our own experiences that show how expecting more from someone than they can actually give can harm connections. But when we learn to loosen and release these expectations we can find freedom and extract deeper meaning from smaller moments.

The holidays are full of pressures more than we can even count. So for those of you who struggle, feel anxiety, and are not sure how you will get through know that you are not alone. 

The holidays come and go just like every other day. Remember to put your own mental health first and think about boundaries that will help you navigate. Reach out to a trusted ally and share what's going on. The act of speaking your truth keeps you from spiraling. Allowing another to witness you and hold space for you is one of the greatest gifts you will give yourself! 

We wish you all of the magic this season and hold you all in such high regard. We are so thankful for this community of support! We are so excited to see The Art of Joy continue into 2022!
