Sunday Set Up Ep. 56: Why We Need to Let Go of Expectations  
Podcast: Heal Squad x Maria Menounos
Published On: Sun Sep 27 2026
Description: Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about expectations and how much of our disappointment may come from expecting life, other people, and even ourselves to behave exactly the way we think they should. We talk about letting go of attachment to outcomes, why we can get hurt when others don't respond with the same care or consideration we would, and the simple idea that maybe life gets a little easier when we stop expecting everything to go according to plan. Sometimes nothing is actually wrong — life just isn't matching the picture we had in our heads. We talk about the idea that we can have a hundred different ways for something to feel wrong and only one very specific way for it to feel right. Maybe the goal isn't getting everything perfectly into place. Maybe it's recognizing how often we're focusing on what's "muddled" instead of appreciating everything that's already okay. This week, ask yourself: What expectations am I holding onto? Am I letting someone else's actions determine how I feel? Have I created so many rules for what "right" looks like that I'm missing what's already good? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll Talk Shawtly!
