STOP EXPECTING YOU FROM OTHERS

Ashley Corbo
About this episode
You don't understand the behavior because you would never do it. In today's episode, I dive into the emotional toll of trying to understand people who treat us in ways we'd never treat them. I unpack the frustration and confusion that comes from expecting loyalty, honesty, and emotional maturity from people who just aren't capable of giving it. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever asked yourself, “How could they do that to me?” The answer might just be: because they’re not you.
