From the moment we are born into this world, all of us are faced with expectations. First from our parents, then from our teachers, peers, authority figures, partners…and the list goes on. But the loudest voice, with the greatest expectations for us, always comes from within.

In this episode, originally recorded in June 2019, hosts Maureen and Christian unpack the confusing role expectations play in our lives. But more importantly, they reveal how we can transcend the unbearable weight of imposed expectations (inside and out) to discover and follow only the Truest Path of our Souls.

Topics addressed in this episode include:

• Why is it that expectations (even good, well-intentioned ones) are so detrimental to us?
• How do the expectations of parents continue to affect their kids as they grow up?
• How to tell the difference between the ego’s expectations of us vs. our True Self’s expectations
• What is the key to reaching a place of deep, lasting satisfaction in life?
• How to live a successful, purpose-filled life without micromanaging everything.
• Why is it that some people achieve great success, riches and fame and still feel unfulfilled?
• THE mantra for discovering and manifesting your Soul’s Path.
