Perfectly Human

This week, the same word kept showing up; in a training room, on a walk with female founders, and in something I wrote in Coffee with Coops at the weekend.Expectations.Not the big dramatic kind. The quiet ones. The invisible standards we hold ourselves to. The scripts we write in our heads before life even shows up. The gap between what’s happening and what we decided should be happening.In this first episode of Espresso with Coops: Freshly Ground, I talk about the stress that lives in that gap, and why making peace with real life isn’t lowering the bar. It’s finding the right one.☕ Small sips. Big shifts.Thank you for being here for the final season. I’m truly grateful.
