Show Notes
Do your standards shrink the room? Have you ever been called too much, too intense, too selective, too particular? What if that's not a flaw, but proof of the work you've done on yourself?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi gets real about what it means to hold high standards — in dating, friendship, work, and with yourself. She breaks down the difference between ego-driven expectations and value-driven ones, and why knowing the difference changes everything.
In this episode, you'll learn: - Why being "low maintenance" isn't the flex we think it is. - The difference between ego standards and value standards. - Three tests to check if your standards are rooted in values or image. - Why "you're too much" is about their capacity, not your worth. - How Oprah, Serena Williams, and Indra Nooyi refused to shrink and won.
Your standards aren't the problem. Compromising them is.
