Replay #7: how expectations damage your relationship and dating experience
<p>From episode 13, today we speak about the <strong>invisible contract: all the things you expect from love that you never actually said out loud</strong>. </p><p>In this episode I cover the <strong>difference between assumptions, standards, and expectations, </strong>and why the silence around them is what really damages our relationships. </p><p>I explore <strong>where these hidden rules come from</strong>: our families, our culture, the movies we grew up on, and the exes who left scars we mistook for boundaries. </p><p>I share my own messy rule book too. And I give you two simple heart work exercises to start making the invisible visible. </p><p>Enjoy a cold drink over this hot day in July</p><p><strong>Get in touch at @adele_thecoach</strong></p>
