We praise the idea of having “no expectations” in relationships—calling it freedom, maturity, or spiritual detachment. But is it?

We examine why some people reject expectations, not because they are evolved, but because they want love without responsibility, connection without reciprocity, and care without accountability.Join the Newsletter to stay up to date on: Tips, Workshops, podcasts, coaching, speaking events, merch release! https://birdbrainwellness.activehosted.com/f/1limited 1:1 coaching spots available before the year ends: https://bit.ly/birdbrainwellness
