We all have hopes — for a relationship, an opportunity, a long-awaited win or even that first cup of coffee. Sometimes we don’t realise how much we’ve invested in something until life unfolds differently.

But what happens next? Do we let ourselves feel disappointed, or quickly tell ourselves it doesn’t matter, look on the bright side and move on?

In this episode, we explore the distance between the future we imagined and the reality we experience. We talk about the physical feeling of disappointment, the embarrassment of letting others see how much we cared, and the pressure to find something positive before we’ve had time to acknowledge what hurts.

What might disappointment reveal about what matters to us? Can we keep hoping without tying our worth to an outcome? And can we be deeply disappointed and still know that we’re okay?

THE TAROT — Ten of Wands

The Ten of Wands invites us to consider the weight we carry when life hasn’t met our hopes.

Alongside disappointment, are we carrying expectations, self-judgement or the pressure to hold everything together? What could we set down, and where could we allow ourselves to receive support?

The deeper question may be: What am I carrying that I no longer need to carry?
