Overview

Unsetting Expectations is a new publication, catered for high-performing, high-achieving, workaholic, perfectionist individuals in the pursuit of becoming more gentle on themselves. It's written and edited by Franka Grubisic. If you are all of the above + if you are intrinsically motivated to work, enjoy doing what you do so much that you end up working in all times of day and night, passionate about what you're doing and the change and impact you're making, if your work defines you - this newsletter is for you. No matter how much we are in love with what we do, if we don't take care of ourselves, it's not going to end well. But, for someone who hasn't stopped working for 11.5 years, working for 16+ hours a day - literally not having a day off - and who expects high things of oneself, slowing down is a hard thing to do. But that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 12 months, as well as uncovering situations faced throughout my life that contributed to this workaholism, and I want to share my learnings with you, through personal stories and lessons. Unsetting Expectations will land in your inbox every two weeks on a Thursday. You won't find any gimmicky, click-baity or pseudo-advice here; just simple, honest and raw thoughts and advice on unsetting expectations to help you feel less alone, learn to be more gentle on yourself and quiet down your inner, perfectionist critic. You'll learn how to unset expectations. All of the writing is published unedited, & for a reason. I want you to experience my exact, raw thought process as this ensures that you get the most open, true & honest version of me at all times.
