## Resource

In this episode, the Chicas talk about how easy it is to become attached to how we think our desires, goals, relationships, and dreams are supposed to happen. Sometimes we get so rigid in our expectations that we miss opportunities, blessings, or experiences that may actually be better than what we originally imagined. They dive into the importance of staying open-minded, trusting the process, and allowing life to surprise us.
