What exactly are expectations, and why do they hold so much power over how we experience life? In this episode, we explore the connection between our expectations and the way we perceive outcomes.

We unpack the difference between healthy standards and rigid expectations, and discuss how shifting from a mindset of control to one of curiosity can transform the way we navigate challenges, relationships, and personal growth.

This is a conversation about perspective, flexibility, and finding freedom in letting go of the outcome.

Of all the topics we could explore, this one feels both necessary and overdue. Sexual trauma touches so many lives, directly or indirectly and it’s time we create space to talk about it with honesty and care.

In this episode, we unpack what sexual trauma is, how it shapes our relationships, our sense of safety, intimacy, and sexual expression, and how healing practices can help survivors reclaim safety, connection, and even pleasure in their bodies.

This is a conversation about awareness, compassion, and the possibility of healing.
