Have you ever stopped to wonder whether the life you're building is actually yours? In this episode of Talking High Performance with Bel, Belinda explores the hidden cost of living according to other people's expectations. From the career you're "supposed" to have, to the way you're "supposed" to parent, work, live and succeed, many of us spend years trying to meet standards we never consciously chose. What often looks like people-pleasing on the surface is something much deeper—a gradual disconnection from our own values, priorities and identity. Join Bel as she unpacks why so many successful people feel exhausted despite achieving so much, how expectations quietly shape our decisions, and what it means to reconnect with the life that feels right for you. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or wondered why success doesn't feel quite the way you thought it would, this episode is for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you’re a parent, I know you’ll relate to today’s episode. We’re diving into the quiet, sometimes heavy, weight of being the one everyone relies on... the organiser, the emotional anchor, the one who remembers everything, plans everything and anticipates everyone’s needs. As a mum of four, I can tell you it’s all too easy to lose yourself in the needs of everyone else. It’s not that you don’t value yourself, it’s just that while looking after others somewhere along the way your needs began to disappear in the process. In this episode, I’m going to talk about how we can be amazing parents without losing ourselves in the process and I’ll also share practical steps on how to implement this in your own life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
