Today we're diving deep into expectations and their impact on our self-esteem. Last week, I had the chance to record an episode for my friend’s podcast and while the conversation itself was amazing, the lead-up wasn't exactly smooth sailing.

It happens. Anger is a real thing and we have plenty of opportunities to navigate it. What does it have to do with our self-esteem? Plenty. And most of it's not good.

We make mistakes. That's life. But do we make ourselves wrong for it? Do we hold onto the feelings of guilt, shame, anger for much longer than the initial reaction?
