048: How Expectations Kill Love with Kelley Bode
Hi everyone! This week you get me all to yourself again as I bring you another solo episode. Today we’re revisiting the past a little to talk about expectations, particularly when it comes to relationships. Since getting into my relationship with Matt over a year ago, I have learned so much and I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things, particularly in the ways that expectations can drain us and cause major disruptions in our relationships. We uncover all the layers in this episode and finally figure out what it takes to surrender to the universe and how to appreciate that your partner truly knows what's best for you. We’re finally going to get to the bottom of the age-old question: “Who should pay for dates?” No, really, we’re going to solve this one. WHAT ELSE I’M TALKING ABOUT: ✺ The ONE difference between modern dating and dating 100 years ago ✺ How unspoken expectations breeds disconnection (this is a big one!) ✺ How our expectations can be damaging and emasculating for our partners ✺ What if he doesn't want to pay for the date? What does that mean, should it mean anything at all? ✺ Taking away the “I shouldn’t have to tell you this” vibe and how this nurtures a healthy, whole relationship Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelleymbode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelley.bode.90 Twitter: https://twitter.com/kelleybode
