Expected Chocolate: Expectations

On this episode we talk all about expectations. Expectations we place on ourselves, the ones we project onto others, and the ones we don’t even realize we’re carrying. From unspoken pressures to the ways expectations shape how we love, create, and move through the world, this is a reflection on learning to pause, question, and redefine what truly aligns. Maybe it’s not about meeting every expectation… but choosing the ones that actually feel like home.This episode is represented by OYA MÜLLEM Birthday #2 x Mülheimer Nacht !25.04.26 | 7PM | OYA MÜLLEM, Köln Germany 🎂✨OYA MÜLLEM is turning TWO—and you already know it’s about to be a whole vibe.
