Send us a textYou know those moments where you’re so frustrated because you know you’re capable of more, but you can’t quite figure out why you’re not showing up that way? You’re smart. You work hard. You care. But deep down, something feels off... Like you’re holding yourself to standards that don’t match the woman you’re becoming.Here’s the thing: you already have standards. Everyone does. They’re the invisible expectations you’ve been living by - the ones that dictate how you treat yourself, how you let others treat you, how much effort you give, and what you’re willing to tolerate. And if you’ve ever found yourself thinking “Why do I always end up here again?”… this episode will tell you exactly why.Because the truth is, you don’t get what you want, you get what you tolerate. You get the results your standards create.In this episode, we’re getting real about standardswhat they arehow they were formed (early conditioning and people-pleasing), and how to start raising them consciously without slipping into burnout or perfectionism.You’ll learn how to:Spot your emotional triggers — those moments of frustration and resentment that signal it’s time to upgrade your standards.Create minimum baselines that protect your energy when life feels chaotic, so you’re not constantly swinging between “all in” and “completely done.Ask one powerful question that realigns you instantly: “What would my future self thank me for?”This episode is your loving wake-up call — to stop settling for fine, to stop over-giving just to feel worthy, and to start holding yourself to a higher, more intentional standard. Not a punishing one. A powerful one. One that aligns with your values, honors your energy, and moves you closer to the life you actually want to live — not the one you keep surviving.Loved this episode?
