15. Balancing Expectations: Finding Middle Ground Between Hope and Reality

April 09, 2024 • Lisa McNees • Season 1 • Episode 15

Could the secret to navigating life's highs and lows lie in managing our expectations? Join me as I discuss the profound impact of finding the balance between what we hope for and what reality delivers. In this episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of my niece's wedding—an occasion of pure joy overshadowed by the sudden health crisis of my father. Through this personal story, I highlight the beauty that persists even when our best-laid plans take an unexpected turn. I also recount the challenges I faced volunteering at an orphanage, grappling with the sensory overload and my inability to adapt. This intimate narrative not only mirrors our own struggles with reality versus anticipation but also serves as a comforting reminder that self-compassion and recognizing our true capabilities are invaluable.
