Tawny thinks about the saying, “you can do anything, you can’t do everything,” Often, unrealistic expectations come from an inability to accept a certain fact, situation or person as they truly are, which can lead to codependency and trying to “fix” things. They also talk about the need to avoid expecting something external to make everything ok internally. It’s important to stay in today and remember where your feet are.  Music Minute features: Gin Blossoms and Queen & David Bowie.Pre-Order Tawny’s book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the BoozePurchase Lisa’s memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar
