Expectations aren’t the problem in dating — unspoken ones are.

In this episode, Stephanie helps you understand where expectations come from, how they quietly shape behaviour, and when they start sabotaging connection. You’ll learn the difference between expectations and assumptions, how to express needs without pressure, and why curiosity creates clarity far faster than silence.

This episode is about dating with self-awareness, not rigid rules — and protecting yourself from unnecessary disappointment.
