Episode 212: Setting Realistic Expectations

Summary:

Last week, Kim and I got real about navigating the spaces of unmet expectations. But what if we could keep ourselves out of those spaces of disappointment – or at least visit them less often – by setting realistic expectations in the first place? This week, we’re diving into that question with Estefana Johnson. Estefana is a clinical social worker who began her career supporting youth in residential treatment facilities. She now serves as the Clinical Director for ASA Now and Shade Tree Academy, bringing a wealth of knowledge, practical tools, and encouragement to the families and communities she serves. Join us as Estefana shares her insights on how expectations shape our experiences, what it looks like to set expectations that are both hope-filled and grounded in reality, and how this practice can change the way we show up in our relationships, our work, and our personal growth. We’re looking forward to this honest and empowering conversation.
