Organized Chaos

#269 - Ever find yourself fuming over an undone chore or a misremembered date, only to realize you're the one scripting the expectations? In this episode, we talk about the set of unwritten rules we've written for everyone around us. My husband Marc and I are back at it, this time tearing out the pages of these invisible guidebooks we sometimes live by. With a bit of laughter (because who can't relate to the dishwasher saga?), we're showing you how letting go of these hidden scripts can really improve your happiness and relationships.
Together, we pull back the curtain on family dynamics, sharing our own experiences with the unspoken 'shoulds' that often lead to unnecessary tension. We're not here to preach but to share the empowering realization that by taking ownership of our reactions and communicating our needs directly, we can craft a life filled with more joy and less frustration. Whether it's handling relatives or random road rage, join us as we equip you with the strategies to write your own manual for a more fulfilling life.
