How We’ve Navigated Expectations in Ranch Life and Marriage with Tom
Episode description
In today's episode, Tom and I are talking about how we've navigated expectations in ranch life and marriage. We've learned that unspoken expectations are resentments waiting to happen. If you're going to have an expectation about XYZ, you've got to speak it - not everyone is going to have the same expectation or understand where you're coming from!
We hope this episode gives you a more REAL insight into how we've navigated expectations in ranch life and marriage. We've both done the inner work on our own (as well as together); it takes time to get there, but it's absolutely worth it.
Remember - speaking expectations are so, SO important. People aren't mind readers, and they can't meet expectations they don't know exist!
In this episode, we cover:
- Tom’s experience with having high, unspoken expectations of others + how that’s changed
- What to consider if your expectations are consistently NOT being met
- The correlation between feeling safe & effectively communicating your expectations
- Making sure that YOU’RE in the right place mentally in order to help others
