Episode notes
If you’ve ever proudly called yourself “low maintenance”… this episode might lovingly call you out.
Because sometimes what we label as being easygoing, chill, or low maintenance… is actually low standards in disguise.
In this episode, we’re getting honest about the subtle ways high-functioning, self-aware women end up over-accommodating, under-asking, and quietly tolerating misalignment for far too long. We’re talking about the moment you realize your “carefree” identity might actually be people-pleasing in a cute outfit — and why raising your standards is less about dating preferences and more about deep emotional healing.
Inside this conversation, we unpack:
✨ The difference between being genuinely low maintenance vs. operating from low standards
✨ The sneaky signs your nervous system has been over-accommodating
✨ Why things still don’t work out even when you’re “easy to be with”
✨ What actually happens (emotionally and socially) when you start raising your standards
✨ The uncomfortable identity shift no one warns you about
If you’ve been feeling quietly unfulfilled, chronically over-understanding, or like you’ve been accepting less than you deserve — this episode is your permission slip to recalibrate.
Because high standards aren’t high maintenance. They’re a healing skill.
