About this listen
This week’s episode is a reminder every woman needs to hear: having standards is not being “too picky,” “too much,” or “too hard to love.” It’s called wisdom. It’s called self‑worth. And it’s called refusing to shrink for relationships that don’t honor who you are or who God is shaping you to become.
In this conversation, I’m diving into:
• Why standards are spiritual, not superficial
• How to recognize when you’re apologizing for wanting what’s healthy
• The difference between expectations and entitlement
• How fear, loneliness, and past disappointments can pressure you to settle
• What it looks like to date from a place of identity, not insecurity
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting consistency, clarity, commitment, or Christ‑centered character in a relationship, this episode will help you reclaim your voice and your value. You don’t have to apologize for wanting more when “more” aligns with God’s best for your life.
Sis, your standards are not the problem—they’re the protection.
