Episode Description

Most of the friction in your life isn't random. It usually comes from an expectation nobody said out loud.

When work, your marriage, or your health doesn't turn out the way you counted on, it wigs you out. You feel stuck. You're not broken. You're in the gap between an old expectation and what's real right now.

Today I'm breaking expectations into three kinds: what you expect of yourself, what you expect of others, and what others expect of you. Get clear on all three, say them out loud, and watch how much calmer life gets.

Featured Story

A couple of days ago somebody told me, "Scott, you can always expect me to show up authentically, unapologetically myself."

I didn't say anything. But I thought, well, damn, you might want to work on that.
