Tips for Managing Expectations: How To Stop 'Shoulding' All Over People!

11/24/20 • 25 min

We’re all about asking the right questions here, which requires self-reflection and ongoing re-evaluation of our own rules: rules for others and rules for ourselves. In this episode, Todd interviews Bridget on tips for managing expectations and the concept of ‘the manual.’ As a business leader and graduate of Brooke Castillo’s Life Coach School Certification Program, Bridget has harnessed these teachings in her own relationships and as a coach.

It may be a challenging road for some, but with the right mindset and attitude, we can shift our perspective and maintain control of our emotional wellbeing. Bridget shares personal stories about her own manuals, the value of letting them go, and how to adjust expectations to a reasonable level.
