In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Dr. Agnes Wainman. Agnes is a clinical psychologist and founder of London Psychological Services. She helps people who suffer from Expectation Discrepancy Syndrome, a common condition where there is a distressing gap between expectations and reality. Her approach is to Screw Expectations and create a life on your own terms. Listen in as we discuss:
- The problem with the definition of self-care society has thrust upon us
- How Agnes’s views on self-care have shifted since her blog post on the topic went viral
- The expectations placed on women to ensure they can’t win
- If working on ourselves was enough we wouldn’t need self-help anymore. Agnes shares what she thinks we need instead
- The ways that perfectionism and the persona of being a “hot mess” are keeping women from true connection and happiness
- How and why Agnes is showing women to screw expectations
