    Ep. 176 - Stop Settling: Redefine Your Standards and Your Baseline

    Send us a text You know those moments where you’re so frustrated because you know you’re capable of more, but you can’t quite figure out why you’re not showing up that way?  You’re smart. You work hard. You care. But deep down, something feels off... Like you’re holding yourself to standards that don’t match the woman you’re becoming. Here’s the thing: you already have standards. Everyone does. They’re the invisible expectations you’ve been living by - the ones that dictate how you treat yourself, how you let others treat you, how much effort you give, and what you’re willing to tolerate. And if you’ve ever found yourself thinking “Why do I always end up here again?”… this episode will tell you exactly why. Because the truth is, you don’t get what you want, you get what you tolerate. You get the results your standards create. In this episode, we’re getting real about standards what they arehow they were formed (early conditioning and people-pleasing), and how to start raising them consciously without slipping into burnout or perfectionism.You’ll learn how to: Spot your emotional triggers — those moments of frustration and resentment that signal it’s time to upgrade your standards.Create minimum baselines that protect your energy when life feels chaotic, so you’re not constantly swinging between “all in” and “completely done.Ask one powerful question that realigns you instantly: “What would my future self thank me for?”This episode is your loving wake-up call — to stop settling for fine, to stop over-giving just to feel worthy, and to start holding yourself to a higher, more intentional standard.  Not a punishing one. A powerful one.  One that aligns with your values, honors your energy, and moves you closer to the life you actually want to live — not the one you keep surviving. Loved this episode?

    Ep. 171 - What If You Actually Believed You Could Have It?

    Send us a text You know those goals you say you want — the business idea, the promotion, the healthier lifestyle — but somehow the spark fades and you’re left wondering if it’s really worth it?  If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I want, but I just don’t believe I can actually have it,” this episode is for you. Rhiannon unpacks the real reason motivation fades. It's not because you’re lazy or uncommitted, but because your belief in your ability to achieve what you want wavers when life gets hard. In this episode, you’ll learn a simple but powerful framework that reveals what’s truly standing between you and your next level: capacity (your time), capability (your skills), energy (your motivation), and cost (what you’re willing to trade to get there). When you understand these four pillars, belief stops being a fluffy concept.  It becomes something you can build. Key Takeaways: Belief is built by aligning what you want with how you spend your time, energy, and focus.When motivation drops, check your belief - not your worth.You’re not behind; you’re just learning to trust yourself again.Listen in and start believing, for real, that you can have the life you keep picturing ✨  Loved this episode?

    Ep. 169 - Stop Beating Yourself Up: A Kinder Way to Stay Disciplined

    Send us a text You know those moments when you replay what you said or did, spiralling into “I should’ve handled that better”?  In this episode, Rhiannon gets real about those not-so-proud moments, the harsh self-talk that follows, and why chasing perfection is exhausting.  You’ll discover how to catch the voice in your head - whether it’s yours, a parent’s, or an old teacher’s - and start shifting it from the “stick” (criticism, shame, pressure) to the “carrot” (encouragement, compassion, support). This isn’t about letting yourself off the hook. It’s about building discipline through kindness, not punishment. You’ll hear how self-care isn’t avoidance but choosing what truly fuels you long-term, and how softening your inner voice can actually make you more effective at work and more at peace with yourself. Notice whose voice is behind your self-talk: yours, or someone else’s... and challenge it.Replace the “stick” (criticism) with the “carrot” (encouragement) to stay disciplined without self-punishment.Redefine self-care: it’s not avoidance, it’s choosing what fuels your long-term goals.Shift from beating yourself up to backing yourself - compassion drives confidence and results.If you’re tired of beating yourself up and ready to back yourself instead, this episode will shift the way you speak to the most important person - you.
