Many of us don’t like change, but the reality is that the evolution of people, places, and even things is unstoppable. So while our brains might become frustrated by apparent inconsistencies to our beliefs, is it really anyone’s fault? And how can we cope?

Tune in as The Goldfish Affect discusses what happens when people don’t live up to the expectations we have for them. Is it fair to place blame? Or do we actually need to re-evaluate our own perception and reasons for such expectations? Change is difficult, but as Audra and Coach Margaretrose put it, we only have two choices - accept it or reject it.

KEY POINTS:

• How do you process someone falling short of your expectations?

• Front-loading a new relationship

• The authenticity of today

• Why our brain doesn’t like change

• Perception is key - honor vulnerability

• Evolution is constant

QUOTABLES:

“People change over time, and we have to find a way to cope with that change because we're not changing even in relationships at the same degree at the same time.”

“Become comfortable with change and give grace to allow for people to change. They're not going to be consistent. And then you get to know a whole new person all over again.”
