This episode is for anyone who's ever been told they're 'too picky' or that their standards are 'unrealistic.' Whether you're single and feeling pressure to settle, or in a relationship where you're compromising too much of yourself, this conversation will help you distinguish between healthy boundaries and impossible expectations.

We're talking about the difference between knowing your worth and being controlling, and between choosing wisely and closing yourself off to love. If you've ever felt guilty for having standards or wondered if you should lower your expectations to find love, this episode will give you permission to stop apologizing for knowing what you deserve. Because the right person won't make you feel like you're asking for too much.
