Unrealistic and unspoken expectations are like invisible wedges quietly pushing us apart from the people we love most. In this episode, we explore why it’s so important to bring expectations into the light and talk about them openly. Relationships thrive when partners can share not only what they need now, but also who they’re becoming and where they hope to go. The key is staying connected through those changes, rather than being blindsided by them. We’ll also unpack how unspoken expectations can breed resentment and how to spot shifts in energy before unspoken expectations become full-blown conflicts.

The key to managing expectations lies in knowing which are reasonable and which were never promised to us in the first place. In this episode, we explore the kabbalistic wisdom that peace comes from walking through life with fewer expectations, trusting that everything—every twist, every challenge—comes from the Creator and is meant to prompt spiritual growth. We’ll talk about how life’s constant changes mean our expectations are meant to be ever evolving. What if the universe is already giving you exactly what you need? And what if the only thing standing in the way of receiving it… is what you thought should happen instead?

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the hidden roots of judgment and how it often reveals more about us than the people we judge. We’ll unpack how judgment narrows our focus, preventing us from seeing things clearly. Instead of judging, what if we got curious? What if we chose connection over criticism? Join us as we talk about the shift from judgment to compassion, and the healing power of truly being seen and heard.
