Also friends, we want to encourage you to pick up Matt’s new book: Lead Me. It is such a seamless read that is also so inspiring.

We believe navigating unmet expectations win dating so real because indeed we should have standards, but too often we have really high, sometimes unrealistic expectations. The difference between the two and what is realistic just can lead to so much disappointment.

The conversation with Matt today is incredibly helpful and inspiring.

Some themes of today’s episode:
-The path to becoming the right person
-How to let go of defensiveness
-How to release expectations
-Fighting for relationships through life’s curveballs
