Episode 43: The Problem Isn’t Them, It’s the Manual You Created for Them That is Frustrating You

In this episode, I talk about the invisible manuals I realized I had created for almost everyone in my life. Manuals for how husbands should act, how teenagers should behave, how kids should respond, and even how strangers should show up in the world. I share how my brain was constantly comparing reality to these made up rules and how that comparison was creating frustration, hurt, and disappointment.I dive into what is actually happening in our brains when people do not meet our expectations and why learning to question those manuals has completely changed the way I experience relationships. I share personal stories about Cody, parenting, teenagers, and the freedom that comes when we stop arguing with reality and start loving people for who they truly are instead of who we think they should be.This episode is an invitation to notice the rules you have created in your own mind and practice saying, “Not anymore.”#NotAnymorePodcast #MindsetShift #SelfAwareness #Relationships #PersonalGrowth
