Description

Ever said, “I just have high expectations—I shouldn’t lower my standards!” and then felt resentful when others didn’t meet them? You’re not alone.

In this episode explores how “high standards” often hide perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout. You’ll learn why tying your worth to others’ performance creates frustration—and how to rebuild self-trust, emotional resilience, and peace while still pursuing excellence.

💛 Lead with courage—not exhaustion.
