Opportunity is knocking all you have to do is open the door to see it! Have you ever had the feeling that everyone else gets all the opportunities? Or maybe you felt that everyone must just be a little bit more lucky to have the opportunities they have. Sometimes it can be hard to sit with the place we are in life, we get a little stuck wondering, "what is next?" Fear may be keeping us from taking the next opportunity to come our way. Doubt may jump in and tell us an opportunity isn't right. Insecurity may be holding us back from the life we desire and all the new opportunities in store for us. Let's be more intentional to stop the what ifs, to stop the worry, and start preparing for the opportunities ahead! Besides Caitlyn is about to drop some BIG NEWS at the end that she has yet to share on the podcast! Stick around to find out what it is.

Raise your hand if you have ever been disappointed? Has it been because your expectations had not been met? Expectations we have of ourselves, and others can be a touchy subject and I think we can all take a moment to assess and learn how to manage our expectations a bit better. In this episode you will hear:
- Are we lowering or managing our expectations?
- Adjusting expectations based on personal expectations and not holding others accountable to our own priorities
- When we lower our expectations of others how does it make us feel?
- Intentionally finding the reason unmet expectations cause an emotional response
- Why do we cling to control especially in holding up our expectations?
- Learn what we have done to start managing our expectations better with others
- What we deem the difference is between standards and expectations
- Managing the expectation timeline of your life
Let us know what type of expectations are harder for you to set or keep. Join our conversations over on Instagram! We look forward to connecting with you over there!

We are jumping in the deep end guys....time to talk about Boundaries. Some may love them, some may hate them, for some boundaries may come easy while for others setting boundaries may be more of a challenge. If you have heard of the very popular book Boundaries then maybe some of what we talk about will be familiar to you. When you hear the word boundary what do you think of? Maybe it is the boundary you create in your friendships, for others work/life boundaries, and still for others maybe you have some internal boundaries! Join us in our conversation over on Instagram we would love to hear about your experiences!

To round out our travel series, we're chatting with Makenzie's sister-in-law, Layne, who's probably still jet lagged from her studies abroad. Layne recently returned home from four months in Paris, and she has hot tea to spill on all things studying abroad. Layne has been intentional about her plans to study abroad for years, so we're excited for you to hear from the expert herself on how to plan for, indulge in, and recover from studying abroad. And, as always, we hope you enjoy today's intention!
