    S06E03: The Freedom of Expecting Nothin'

    Play Episode Listen Later May 18, 2025 5:56


    In this raw reflection, we explore the freedom that comes with releasing the unspoken rules we hold over others, why we expect to be seen, heard, and loved in specific ways, and how those very expectations set us up for pain. Learn how to distinguish between mind-reading and genuine needs, how to ask boldly or let go quietly, and why the most peaceful relationships are those where you expect nothin but receive everything. If you've ever felt the ache of unmet hopes, this is your invitation to lay them down.

    S06E02: Say it Whole or Don't Say it at all!

    Language isn't just about words—it's about intention. In this episode, we dive into why phrases like ‘thanks' instead of ‘thank you,' ‘love you' instead of ‘I love you,' and ‘sorry' instead of ‘I'm sorry' can leave relationships feeling hollow. These half-phrases might seem small, but they carry weight. I'll share why I refuse to accept them and why you should, too. Discover how words can deepen connection, honor effort, and rebuild sincerity in a world starving for authenticity. Say it whole, or don't say it at all.
