Life is Not an Ice Cream Sundae with a Pony Ride

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

This week we look at depression and anxiety from a different angle. We all struggle at some point with these things, but what if our expectations are off? What if we, by expecting our lives to be easy and happy, are setting ourselves up for disappointment and dismay? Most of grew up learning that if we were "good" people we'd have good lives. We are shocked and unprepared when life comes at us with its unfairness and harsh reality. In this week's podcast, we reset our expectations where they should be. We are learning to live life on life's terms (hat tip: AA), and we are taking responsibility for ourselves.
