Ep 38 | What to do when your expectations of yourself are unrealistic

In this episode, I talk about the unrealistic expectations that often become a heavy load in our transition to motherhood. I unpack the identity shifts and give you some powerful prompts to help you realign your expectations to match your current reality.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How to recognise and let go of the ‘should’ and shouldn'ts’ that no longer serve your current reality
  • What strategies and journal prompts you can use to become self aware about the expectations you have on yourself.
  • The importance of adjusting the expectations you have on yourself on your mental load.

This practice can be done on a day to day basis or in a more zoomed out fashion overall in this season of your life. It is effective when circumstances change and we find ourselves ‘getting through’ or showing up in a way that we feel like we have to hide how we actually feel based on feeling like it is shameful or wrong to share how we are feeling.
