The Cost of Admission

The Hidden Negotiation Shaping Your Life.

Every life comes with terms. Some are spoken. Most are not.

Somewhere along the way, you learned what was expected of you. You learned when to speak, when to wait, how much to ask for, and what it took to belong. Over time, those expectations became so familiar that you stopped questioning them.
