Ever wondered why we feel the pressure to meet others' expectations? Dr Christian Heim and Hurricane H dive into this very question on 'Climb to your Prime'. Dr Heim, a seasoned psychiatrist, shares his wisdom on the origins of these expectations, from our parents to social media. He introduces the concept of 'clickbait expectations' - those unrealistic standards we see online that aren't truly representative of real life.
With a blend of humour and insight, Dr Heim talks about how to balance societal demands with personal authenticity. A standout moment is when he shares his approach to parenting, emphasising the importance of showing vulnerability to his children rather than pretending to have all the answers. This episode is packed with relatable anecdotes and practical advice on being true to oneself while navigating the expectations placed upon us.
Tune in for an engaging discussion that might just change how you view your own expectations.
