We’re dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, and MONEY — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary In this solo episode, Patrice delivers a powerful reminder that at some point, every vision demands a decision: either elevate your standards or lower your vision. Fresh off the treadmill and reflecting on recurring themes inside her coaching community, Patrice unpacks the hidden tension that happens when the life you say you want no longer matches the standards you’re currently tolerating. Through honest storytelling and practical reflection, Patrice introduces the concept of the “Minimum Viable Standard” — the baseline level of support, peace, order, and alignment required for you to thrive. She explains how many people unknowingly lower their standards in relationships, environments, finances, and daily routines while still expecting to hold a bigger vision for their lives. Eventually, that disconnect creates frustration, exhaustion, and misalignment. Patrice also explores how inherited beliefs, scarcity mindsets, and even proximity to people with smaller thinking can quietly pull us away from our truth. Whether it’s your physical environment, financial habits, boundaries, or support systems, this episode challenges you to stop treating your needs like luxuries and start honoring what genuinely supports the version of you you’re becoming. Ultimately, this conversation is an invitation to stop shrinking your dreams to fit outdated standards. Because the life you desire requires a version of you who is willing to choose differently, think differently, and live differently — even when it feels uncomfortable to others. Questions to Ask Yourself: Where in my life have my standards quietly drifted away from my vision? Am I shrinking my dreams to stay comfortable, accepted, or familiar? What does my “Minimum Viable Standard” look like in each pillar of my life? What relationships, environments, or habits no longer support who I’m becoming? What would it look like to fully elevate my standards instead of lowering my vision? Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself?
